0 res
-1 res = +1.5% skill damage

You need to look into if it is already negative res. In such case 1=1

But...if you can kill that in 1 shot...there is no meaning to add more damage.

No, typically a monster cannot go below 0 resistance, so any -% to enemy magic resistance does nothing to those monsters.

Hmm, what's your source, I've never heard of this.

https://maxroll.gg/d2/resources/immunities

The specific section can be found directly above the page Summary:

-xx% Enemy Resistance and
Pierce can both apply to a target if they are not Immune, or have their immunities broken by another source. The total Resistance reduction is the summation from all sources. Reminder that this cannot lower a monster's Resistance below -100%, any reduction >199% is redundant.

I'm not playing D2 as much as before. I'm too lazy to edit all my trade prices. Offer me something reasonable and I'll probably accept.

also , ask google ai , in d2r, what is max -magic resistance

Cap?

--- I also find another truth about current world--

in current equipment , can it reach -100 magic resistance?

No. With the current equipment available in Diablo 2: Resurrected, it is completely impossible to reach -100% magic resistance on an enemy, nor can you even get close.

that doesnt change the theoretical

Cap. The Engine allows resistances up to -100. That there is no gear + skills that can generate -100 is not the point.

A monster having -100 to res x will take twice the damage. So if you have item that provide -5% magic resist and monster having 0 will take 5% more damage. A Monster having 50% magic resist will take 10% more damage (its going from taking 50% of damage to taking 55% of damage which is 10%). An enemy that got 90% resist wil take 50% more damage (going from 10 to 15 percent)

yes, this opinion is right.

for magic resistance, all we need to do is max it. if there is choice between -1 magic resistance vs +5 magic skill damage, always choose -1 magic resistance.

The most common case is

when you set up a budget, like 10

Jah. That you have to calculate it carefully to achieve max - magic res. (
