Resistances reduce the damage you take from their associated damage type. Enemies can also have resistances, which are indicated beneath their life bar.
Each elemental damage type and chaos have their own resistance value (e.g. "fire resistance") which is viewable in the character sheet by pressing C and clicking on the Defense tab. Physical damage is reduced by armour.
There are various ways your resistances can be increased or decreased:
- The auras
Purity of Elements, 
Purity of Fire, Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Purity of Cold", and 
Purity of Lightning - Certain curses
- Certain unique items
- Equipment modifers
- Passive skills
- Elemental resistance flasks
- Endurance Charges (4% per charge)
- Changing difficulty
The "+% to All Resistances" stat grants resistance to the three elemental resistances and excludes Chaos. Chaos resistance is a separate stat, found only on items and the passive skill tree. Complete chaos immunity is granted by the Chaos Inoculation keystone passive skill.
Resistances are initially capped at a maximum of 75%, however there are various ways to change this:
- Certain unique items
- The auras Purity of Fire/Cold/Lightning
- The Elemental Adaptation passive skill located near the Marauder start point
- The "of Exposure" affix on maps
- Elemental resistance flasks
Resistance Penalties
There is a penalty to all resistances (including chaos) applied to your character in each successive difficulty you reach.
- Normal: No penalty
- Cruel: -20% to all resistances
- Merciless: -60% to all resistances
