It's 90% for most spells, excluding serpent bite, because that's special and its DoT can only be lowered by more than 85% with the use of strategic position. Why? Who knows. /shrug

And the Dark Archmage tunic has been bugged for as long as I can remember. It provides more AP than the skull tunic, and the winged death tunic and every other tunic I've worn on my lock.

85%, not 90%. You can test it with lightning and winterstroke.

If it is 85% there's no point in having steel skin since it's 90% physical resistance on its own.

Anyway, with lightning, its max dmg is 240. I've seen it go down to 24 (back in the old days with the strong evasive tactics and old strategic position).
