damage reduction DOES NOT MEAN IT SHOULD BE IMMUNE TO DAMAGE

hmmmmm reduction means what ggg? huh? does it mean it takes ZERO damage?
this is literally taught in second grade.... all respect lost.

It adds up to the point where it can. I’ve made the mistake a few times this league of taking the +20% max chaos resist and +100% resist altar.

This actually isn't true.

Monsters, like players, have a cap on damage reduction. It shouldn't ever reach 100%.

If something is taking literally zero damage (aside from a "rotating immunity" monster), then there's something else going on.

Mind you, if you are, for example, a Poison build, and the monster gets 100% chance to avoid poison, then it will *effectively* take zero damage, because your non-poison damage will be so low it doesn't matter.

You can also appear to do zero damage when a monster has regen (either from its own mod or from something like consecrated ground) and the regen is higher than your damage (which is much more likely to be the case when they have 90% resist).

There is also a slight chance you've encountered a bug.

Expedition in particular has had several bugs in the past where things could end up breaking the caps, even though the cap was stated right on the modifier (for example, it was possible to give the monsters 100% block chance at one point).

skelly mages. no rotating immunity. no regen. it had a temporal bubble and literally would not take any damage at all. this game just gets to be frustrating.

Temporal Bubble works like Proximity Shield in that they can only be damaged by a source that's inside their bubble.

i was standing in the bubble with 50+ minions lol

unless you are taking immune to your damage type on expeditions, it sounds like you just need more damage honestly. That's pretty much the answer to anything like that in non-hardcore modes.

anton it was a yellow map. i can drop bosses in t14s in a couple of seconds, this thing just took no damage. its all good. maybe one day console will actually be fixed. i doubt it but maybe.
