Does Arcane resistance reduce all damage types, or only holy damage in PVP?

You have such great questions :+1: :slight_smile:
A google search showed me that Arcane resistance also counts for Holy resistance. Hope you’re enjoying this fine game.

That wasn’t actually what I asked though was it? I asked whether it reduces all damage types or only holy. But I found it out eventually by googling more myself. And it’s that arcane resistance only reduces arcane and holy damage , with arcane damage being a type of damage done by some wizard spells (And i think, some monsters, or maybe that’s just the same graphics, not sure). So your great answer didn’t answer the question I asked. And only a fan site did (Blizzard game guide doesn’t). So maybe next time you want to be sarcastic, try reading properly first before relying. :+1: :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m sorry you’re having a bad time and I hope things are better soon for you. But just because you made a game doesn’t mean everyone else automatically knows everything about it. And if I could have found the answer from googling immediately I would have. tried first before posting. If it annoys you that much when I ask questions, just don’t answer though. That’ll save us both bother. And yes, thanks, I am enjoying the game, It’s very good. :+1: :slightly_smiling_face:

Best of luck with your gaming and don’t hold off asking again. Nobody wants to hurt or harm you.

I’ll start all over: Arcane resistance reduces both arcane and holy damage. But not other damage types, like fire, poison, cold, lightning, physical.
All resistance, which can be a affix on items, covers all damage types, and the value is added to each of the individual resistance categories. Armor, a separate category, reduces all kinds of damage.

PvP isn’t a big thing in Diablo 3 which is mainly PvE.

Ah right sorry. I thought you were annoyed at me. I feel stupid now. Sorry and thank you.

No problem and thx. I was a bit semi-sarcastic to be true. There is a US blizzard d3 forum which is much more active than this eu forum. But it can also be more agressive in tone. So be prepared and warned :slight_smile:
