{{U|=Simply put, this skill increases an enemy's susceptibility to the harsh effects of the elements and elemental magics. Skin burns like paper, chills cut to the bone, and lightning is drawn to the victim as if they were an iron bar in a rainstorm.}}

* Resist -% is reduced to 1/5 (rounded down) against [[Immune]] monsters, even if Resist < 100% after applying [[Conviction]] or [[Sunder]]. However, Lower Resist is still 100% effective against a hostile player's Immune [[pet]]s.
* Level > 9 will break all [[Immune to Poison|poison immunities]] which can be broken. Only needs to be applied when target is poisoned: can be overwritten afterwards without affecting [[Poison Damage|poison damage]] rate.
* [[Cast rate]]
 

==Source==
* In LoD, [[Oblivion Knight]]s can no longer cast it; in D2R, they can cast it once more.
 

===[[Skill bonus]]===
* +(1-3) Lower Resist ([[Necromancer]] Only) can spawn on ilvl > 36 [[wand]]s and [[shrunken head]]s.
