Shouldn’t -10% from 80 be 72? I assume typo rather than 10% always meaning 10, as further down you have -20% as -16.
no, -10% is minus 10, subtracts a fixed/absolute value of 10 each time
i do not
i have 20 % reduced,
this is very important/there is a key distinction between them; there is no minus symbol
it’s the minus symbol (on the %effects) that determines if it’s the actual direct value/absolute value that gets taken up/down on minus or plus, hence why - x% isn’t the same effect as x% reduced
(you could technically also go by the “reduced” present, but i feel since that’s present on flat reduction/n’th reduced too it might get mixed up instead of looking for the minus symbol -)

Prepared an educational picture with all three resistance types present (and combined) on one of my builds.
That makes no logical sense whatsoever, but I guess if that’s how the math goes then that’s how it goes. I guess it makes the additive maths slightly easier.
It’s the same as equipping an item with for example 10% aether resist, it adds 10 to your % aether resist, it doesn’t add 10% of your existing resist.
The -x% just modifies the % resist value directly. The x reduced resistances do work by subtracting for the flat value and multiplying for the % value.
-x% reduced is an additive bonus which does stack with the same bonus from other sources.
x% reduced is a multiplicative bonus which doesn’t stack with the same bonus from other sources.
n reduced is an additive bonus which doesn’t stack with the same bonus from other sources.
