Mid's - Weaken vs. Effective vs. Ignore Resist - Guide [3.0]

[CuzegSpiked]

Here’s my post on calculating weaken and other variables. It’s essentially the same as this guide calculations but I described it as if enemies have -% resists or negative resistance % .

That 120% weaken meaning 0-120% = -120% resistance also being 1+1.2= ×2.2 DMG is an example and that’s my way of confirming the calculation.

Also 100%+ weaken. 90% weaken is enough but adding that extra 30% weaken also helps. At 90%, weaken will trigger 90% of the time but at 100%+ weaken, it triggers 100% of the time. Effective mythic makes sure your element attack is always effective aka enemy element weakness. It seems like the negative resist theory is true after testing to find out. I found that at -120%+ weaken, my damage exactly doubled. Well actually by ×2.2 on enemies with no resist or weakness to an element or immune. Ex…

It’s just my interpretation of this guide and based on lots of testing with different scenarios. It’s pretty easy to test with a build with weaken, test different situation, remove weaken or put ignore resist, etc. The differences are visible which is great.
