Damage Reduced

In the game: Damage Reduced by XDRSame against players

How it works

Flat Damage Reduced lowers the physical damage of every hit you take by a fixed amount. "Damage Reduced by 7" turns a 20-damage hit into 13.

Because it is a fixed amount, it matters most against many weak hits and early in the game. Against a Hell monster hitting for hundreds, a few points barely show. It is a different stat from Physical Damage Reduction, the percentage form ("Damage Reduced by X%"), which keeps its value against big hits.

Auras and passives that set this stat

Source: itemstatcost.txt (normal_damage_reduction) and properties.txt over the property codes of the game's item tables, the runeword lines and skills.txt (build 3.3.93847). Magic affixes are the ones that can spawn; a runeword's line includes what its runes add in that slot. “LoD 1.14d” is the value in classic Diablo II's last patch where it differs (uniques, set items, runewords' own bonuses, runes and gems; from blizzhackers/d2data); a D2R chip marks what 1.14d did not have. “Strongest” ranks items by the top of their roll range. · Report incorrect data

Unless stated otherwise, everything here is Diablo II: Resurrected build 3.3.93847, Reign of the Warlock.
