Aleks meteor damage has a fifth of that flat and he deals 10k damage easily. And life reduction is actually reduced by vitality resist, so it’s not much really.
Life reduction is not affected by vitality resist.

Side question: what is the difference in life reduction resistance and life leech resistance?
Yes, it is. Cap your aether res, and leave you vitality resist low. Then try those aether tornadoes. Then cap your vitality and try again.
Life reduction is for “reduced enemy HP”, life leech reduction only affects healing by ADCtH.
I would try it, not that I believe it, but I do not own FG.
You don’t need FG to try it. :rolleyes: Just go to Valbury Outskirts.
So if you only need vitality resistance, why do OK have a separate resistance for it? And how will it work with vitality resistance? multiplicative?
Just tested again and yup, vitality resistance reduces life reduction damage. The aether whirlwinds only deal aether damage and life reduction damage.
Started to remove items with vitality resistance until it reached 52% vitality res. The whirlwind damage started to increase and mind you, aether resist remained overcapped.
If vitality resist affected life reduction, all bosses(+) would be practically immune to life reduction damage, yet War Cry does deal about 2% of their HP. Kuba would be literally immune to it, and I still do damage it. I do not play any vitality damage characters nor have characters that would reduce vitality by any means when combined with Soldier.
I don’t think Vitality resist ever helped my Pets against Life Reduction dmg…
They have super high resistance to life reduction. :rolleyes:
Krieg, the first story boss, has 88% life reduction resistance.
And to be 100% sure, Ceno confirmed that vitality resistance works against life reduction damage and korsar double checked to be sure.
Then how do I deal ~2% of Kuba’s HP with War Cry? I DOUBT it takes my WD to the skill. :rolleyes:
You don’t deal 2% life reduction damage with War Cry to Kubacabra, you are seeing things.
You are wrong in this case, vitality resistance works on life reduction damage.
@Norzan can you provide the formula for dmg dealt as life reduction as a function of vitality res and life reduction resist?
I just tested War Cry on Mad Queen, an enemy that has lower vitality resistance than Kubacabra, and her health bar didn’t moved an inch with the life reduction.
Ok, so my pets have 80 Vitality res with 76 overcap + 20 Resistance to Life Reduction from Ishtak.
So, how does it work?
HOLY SHIT thx so much that info really helped 
i finally beat him
Current Life Reduction = (1 - Life Reduction Resist) * (1 - Vitality Resist)
Example - 80% Vit Res, 20% Life Reduction Res
(1-0.2 = 0.8) * (1-0.8 = 0.2) = 0.16 Multiplier for Current Life Reduction. So if you’re then hit by an attack that reduces your Current Life by 33%, you take
0.16 * 0.33 = 0.0528 or 5.28% of your Current Life as damage.
Amending this to say it may not have been korsar - I don’t recall who it was and searching through korsar’s posts didn’t turn up anything. All I remember is the quote:
“Result: Ceno was right (f**k)”
Which I haven’t been able to find since last having this discussion.
thanks, so its multiplicative
@Ceno, I see. Ty for the info 
Gud. Now wish me all the luck in the world while I attempt it with my occultist
