Mechanics

Eye of Malice

Debuff

You have increased Fire and Cold Resistances

50% increased Fire and Cold Resistances

At first glance the mod Nearby Enemies have 50% increased Fire and Cold Resistances may sound unhelpful; however, it also multiplies negative resistances.

For example, if a monster's Cold Resistance was lowered to -30% via sources such as Exposure, Frostbite, Void Beacon, and other methods, Eye of Malice's effect would cause that monster to have -45% instead. Note that this modifier affects the actual resistance (or tooltip resistance) of the monster; it does not scale on player side by how many -#% to monster resistances with any given method (i.e. the scaling is calculated on monster side). Conversely, a monster with 30% Cold Resistance after applying any player's aura/curse/other #% res effect, will have 45% Cold Resistance instead. Therefore, it is important to stack lots of sources of Resistance stripping to get the monster negative.

Note that Penetration applies after this step; the Penetration value itself will not increase. Read Receiving damage and Resistance penetration for details.

Alternatively, you can use this item with effects that invert enemy resistances like Rakiata's DanceRakiata's Dance

(1-20)% chance to Freeze, Shock and IgnitePlace into an item socket of the right colour to gain this skill. Right click to remove from a socket., though it has some slight anti-synergy with its exposure effect. For this, you need to avoid getting effects that give reduced resistances or increased exposure effect.
