I understand each difficulty reduces there resistance but I still dont know their orginal resistance values.


0/-50/-100 on normal/nightmare/hell
+15 per skill level up to +75
minion res stat is capped at 75



Where do the +15 resist per skill level up come from?


From the skill itself. It's just a hidden bonus.

So this means if I have ten points invested in blood skeletons they will have 150% (I understand its capped at 75) resistance just from that alone?

They will have 75/25/-25 on normal/nightmare/hell at slvl 5 or higher. The skill level bonus is capped at +75, and then minion res is also capped at +75.

If you have some other aura that gives them resists (I think Champions of the Sun from
Eloi

Eloi
Amazon Shields

'ThulNefGul'
Runeword Level: 65
15% Attack Speed
+(15 to 25) to Champions of the Sun
+(6 to 8)% to Summoned Minion Damage
+(115 to 143)% Enhanced Defense
-25 to Energy
Cold Resist +25%
Physical Resist 10%
-5% to All Vendor Prices
or a relic are the only option right now), they can go higher still.

Ok great thanks for the reply. So if j understand this correct as long as I have 5 skill points in the blood skeletons skill plus another 75% minion resistance from gear this will put my minions at 75% (max) resistance even in hell mode.

Summons get innate resists even for soft points (so if you put 1 point in skele and having +4 all skills - they will have 75 innate res). And their penalty is 0/50/100 per difficulty unlike for player and merc. so at skill level 5 and 75% summoned minion resist from items/skill they will have 50% ele resist on Hell (which is max except if you have champions of the sun aura)

There're 3 rules in that caase: they get 75% all res at skill level 5; they can't get more than 75% addiional all res from items/passive skills; they suffer penalty of -50 and -100 all ele res on Nightmare and Hell

God I hate some mechanics of the D2... No need to care about the math, just get 75% minion res on equipment and you are good to go in every difficulty. Those +soft skills come automatically with charms and items.

Thank you all for clarity. Much appreciated. Seems I've been overly investing in minion resistance lol

I'm sure any vita build can survive 1 or 2 barrels to the face. My poison ww baba steamrolled dunc, however he was not the fastest. For speed, I imagine a long range multi hitting skill with on hit procs would be the best.
