Scorch

Ailment

Your elemental resistances are lowered.

Scorch is an Elemental Ailment associated with fire that causes the affected target to have their Elemental Resistances lowered by up to 30%, based on the Fire Damage of the Hit, for 4 seconds.

Scorch's magnitude is given by the formula:

$\color[RGB]{163,141,109} E = 50 * ({D \over T})^{0.4}$

where D is the fire damage dealt, T is the enemy's ailment threshold.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.10.0	Scorch and Brittle (alternate ailments for Fire and Cold damage respectively) have both had their maximum effects raised. Scorch reduces elemental resistances by a maximum of 30% (from 20%). Brittle now increases the chance to critically strike an afflicted enemy by up to 15% (from 10%). Scorch, Brittle and Sap now all have a base duration of 4 seconds (from 2).
3.9.0	We've added an Ailment Threshold to monsters. In the great majority of cases, the Ailment Threshold matches the monster's Maximum Life. It primarily differs for especially high-life monsters (such as The Shaper), where the threshold is reduced to allow ailments to be applied with hits that wouldn't ordinarily reach the required Life thresholds. The alternate ailments Sap, Scorch and Brittle have a slightly different calculation as they have lower caps on their magnitudes.
3.5.0	Introduced to the game. Updated the reminder text for Ailments to include the 3 new Ailments.
