The Detrimental magic effects primarily include the five Secondary Damage Effects. They also include effects like Root(confirmed).
- Chance for Burn +X% - Fire Damage over time. Duration is 5 seconds.
- Chance for Freeze +X% - Chance to freeze is a 25% slow down of movement and Attack Speed.
- Chance for Poison +X% - Poison Damage over time. Duration is 5 seconds.
- Chance for Weaken +X% - Weaken will reduce Attributes by 20%.
- Chance to Inflict Open Wounds +X% - Physical Damage over time. Duration is 5 seconds.
Detrimental Magic Effects have a chance to occure when an enemy is hit by a weapon or Combat Art and inflict a percent of the damage that caused an effect over time of 5 seconds (the actual value for effect duration is about 490 frames, which could have been interpreted as 4.9 seconds, but the game applies damage once a second; so in practice the effect deals damage over five seconds in five pulses - the first four deal full damage and the fifth one deals 10% less). If such effect was caused by a Critical Hit then the damage inflicted by that effect also increases by 20%. If Detrimental effect was caused by a hit with failed Spell Resistance/Spell Intensity check, this effect's damage is likewise decreased by 30%. Several Detrimental effects stack, so an enemy can be suffering from several effects at the same time. However, only one effect would be displayed.
If the defender's Spell Resistance exceeds Spell Intensity of the attacker (a player's character would need 2400+ of resistance against the enemies of level 200+), the damage dealt by detrimental magic effects would be noticeably reduced. It works only against CAs that deal flat damage and have a chance for detrimental effects. If an attack inflicts such effect (for example, Burn effect from a Dragon's fireball or Poison from Kobold Shaman's projectiles) then the duration of effect on highly resistant character would be reduced to 1 second and the damage dealt by the one remaining pulse would be divided by 6. Therefore the detrimental effect deals only 4% of its original damage.
The Detrimental magic effects -x% modifier reduces the duration of such effects as well as damage dealt by them (damage is reduced proportionally to the time). If several bonuses of this kind are equipped at the same time, their percentage does not sum up, instead they apply in layers (percent values multiply). Therefore the character can never achieve 100% reduction of detrimental effects. Some Detrimental Magic Effects (Burn, Poison and Open Wounds) are classified as DoT and therefore affected by Damage Mitigation +x% and DoT -x% modifiers as well as by Mastery of Spell Resistance skill.
- Many monsters have Combat Arts of this type (they are classified as DoT and Detrimental Effects at the same time). Such CAs do not :deal flat damage and therefore are not affected by armor - they only inflict DoT over 5 seconds after attack. Examples include :Spit CAs of the Weaving Spiders in the Swamp, Poison attacks of Undead and Toxic Elementals, some Traps.
