Inevitable Judgement

Ascendancy Notable Passive Skill

Critical Strikes ignore Enemy Monster Elemental Resistances
Non-Critical Strikes Penetrate 10% of Enemy Elemental Resistances [1]

Inevitable Judgement is a notable Ascendancy passive skill for the Inquisitor that grants elemental damage penetration on a non-critical strike or causes hits to ignore the enemy's elemental resistances on critical strike.

Mechanics

With Inevitable Judgment, a critical strike ignores the concept of elemental resistance altogether. In practice, it is equal to overriding an enemy's elemental resistance to 0%. As a result, any elemental resistance reduction and penetration modifiers are ignored, even if an enemy's resistance would be less than 0% otherwise.

Inevitable Judgement does not penetrate or ignore player's resistances on reflect.
