New Diablo 2: Resurrected charms break monsters’ damage immunity from cuipeng's blog

Many carefully crafted D2R Ladder Items: Resurrected builds are shaped around a particular kind of damage output – which means it’s highly frustrating running into monsters from the RPG game that are immune to that form of damage. Some new Diablo 2: Resurrected charms now available within the PTR should address this problem – if you can get your hands on one.

The new d2 resurrected items: Resurrected Sundered Charms are six magical products that will (eventually) drop from rare, unique, and champion monsters in terrorized zones. Bear in mind that in terrorized zones, monsters will probably be several levels above whoever is hosting the action, so you’ll stay in for a tough fight if you want to go after these new items.

The six charms (as well as the immunity type they break) are The Black Cleft (magic), The Bone Break (physical), The Cold Rupture (cold), The Crack on the Heavens (lightning), The Flame Rift (fire), and The Rotting Fissure (poison).

As Blizzard explains within the latest PTR patch notes, monsters who've 100% or better resistance to a damage type are resistant to that sort of damage. Items – including the charms in the above list – which have the ‘sunder’ keyword reduce this effectiveness against 95% so that it is possible yet again to damage all of them the damage type they’re resistant against (whether or not it’s just a little).

However, it’s important to note that each with the charms can also include a debuff which enables your character to be weaker to the sort of damage the charm concentrates on. The Bone Break, for instance, sunders monsters’ physical damage immunity – almost all increases the physical damage its carrier receives by 25%.

As stated previously, these charms may ultimately be dropped by monsters in terrorized zones, for the time being, you may only use them by selecting one with the new PTR character templates added on September 15. There are 13 of these templates, plus they all start at level 85 and carry one in the six sundering charms.
