Fire Resist

In the game: Fire Resist +X%Same against players

How it works

Fire Resist reduces the fire damage you take by that percentage. It is capped at 75%; Maximum Fire Resist raises the cap, up to 95%.

The difficulty penalty

Every difficulty takes a fixed amount off your resistances (difficultylevels.txt ResistPenalty):

Difficulty	Penalty
Normal	0
Nightmare	−40
Hell	−100

The penalty comes off before the cap: to stand at 75% in Hell you need +175% from gear, skills and quests together.

Anya's quest in Act 5 gives +10 to every resistance once per difficulty. The Difficulty page lists every penalty the game applies.

Source: itemstatcost.txt (fireresist) 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
