What does FOH ignores, exactly? - Blizzard Sector

**Ombra** · 08-03-2007, 05:03 PM

On the way to Andariel's lair, there are those big-headed Misshapen class monsters.
I just don't remember the exact name. [edit] it's: Tainted [/edit]
I'm making a FOH Paladin.

FOH's description says that the attack ignores resistances of undeads and demons.
Those Misshapen dudes down there are indeed tagged as Demons, yet I need 3 to 4 Lvl:20 FOHs
to kill one.
But if I use a Lvl:6 Conviction, they go down with a single FOH shot.

Is FOH supposed to ignore ALL resistances of undeads and demons?
Or is it that FOH only ignores (+)positive resistances, but it accounts for (-)negative resistances?

Anyone can clarify?
Ciao ciao : )

FOH always hits, and ignores defense. Resistance's still affect FoH

I don't get it.
FoH is a spell-like shot. Therefore not physical... what has defence to do with it, then?

Can you be more clear, please?

Ciao ciao : )

no you see foh deals out lightning dmg and the holy bolts shoot out to dmg the undead what ignores resistance is the conviction aura which makes resistance lower for enemies
