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:

A monster such as the Shaper has a base of 50% elemental resistance. We lower the monster's cold resistance via Elemental Equilibrium (from previous non-cold hit), a level 20 FrostbiteFrostbiteSpell, AoE, Duration, Cold, Curse, Hex
Level: (1-20)
Cost: (24-50) Mana
Cast Time: 0.50 sec
Radius: 22Requires Level 24Curses all targets in an area, lowering their cold resistance and giving them a chance to be frozen when hit.Per 1% Quality:1Superior2Anomalous3DivergentFreezes on Cursed enemies have 1% increased DurationCurses inflicted by this Skill have +0.25 to maximum DoomHits against Cursed Enemies have +1% chance to FreezeBase duration is (9-10.9) seconds
Cursed enemies have -(25-44)% to Cold Resistance
Hits against Cursed Enemies have +25% chance to Freeze
Curse gains 10 Doom per second if you Cast this Spell yourself
+(0-10) to radiusPlace into an item socket of the right colour to gain this skill. Right click to remove from a socket. (Note that in this example it does not take into account boss' curse effectiveness) and cold exposure from Eye of Malice's mod, which applies -10% Cold resistance for 4 seconds. The monster now has -54% cold resistance which then gets multiplied by 1.5 (50% increased), resulting in a total of -81% cold resistance. The negative then translated into the damage calculation as more damage taken by the monster.
