FoH / Holy Bolt and -enemy magic resistance

3 replies 122 views

Description

The bolts from

Fist of the Heavens and

Holy Bolt ignore the enemy magic resistance of undead and demons and can even kill magic immune monster like

Achmel the Cursed.
Is the damage of the bolts affected by -enemy magic resistance from items like

Gheed's Wager,

Hellwarden's Will,

Sling ring or

Guardian's Light or is -enemy magic resistance pointless since the magic resistance is ignored?

Holy

Bolts deal MAGIC DAMAGE and because of this if you have -% to Enemy magic resistance stacked up, it will cause the

Bolts function better as far as I am aware.

I could be wrong, please someone smarter do correct my error if this is the case.

According to the amazon basin

Holy Bolt and

Fist of the Heavens bolts "magic damage is applied as though undead have MR 0%, even when Immune to Magic [...] but it does not pierce demon Magic Resist and Immune to Magic demons take no damage (Pit Lords in the

Furnace of Pain and

Tristram are the only Immune to Magic demons in the unmodified game)."

So -enemy magic resist should increase the damage against demons.

This is my understanding. I played a lot of FoH when they first introduced changes to it in D2R, testing in different areas and situations, and concluded exactly as you have above. I haven't tested with -enemy magic resist but in theory this should work against demons.
