Elemental Weakness

"A favorite of Witches and other masters of magic, the Elemental Weakness curse strips away resistances to cold, fire and lightning. Once afflicted by the curse, an enemy will suffer grievous harm from any elemental attack, even if they have natural resistances."

— Description on the official Path of Exile website

Skill Functions and Interactions

Negative Resistances: This curse can cause resistance values to dip into the negative, if the base values are low enough. This will have the affect of increasing the damage above values listed on the character screen. For example, a monster that has 0% elemental resistances and then is inflicted with level 1 Elemental Weakness will take 20% more (multiplicative) elemental damage than the spell or attack would normally cause.
