damage types

So back after a few months and liking alot of the new areas. My question though is did old damage types get a change?

I have a staff that has 5 regular elemental damage types all at 1d4. none of them are being resisted.

then i have a custom item that has a few 1d6's which all seem to have the first 5 points resisted instantly against the same types of monsters. Also noticed my damage resist on my gear is being ignored. im pretty sure I did an item update on the opening area but any thoughts?

Enemies will now spawn with a chance of resistances if they are below the average party level of you/your group. If a given monster has the resists is random, so you could have a spawn with resist enabled baddies and no resist baddies all mixed together.

As for your gear not resisting.... that I have no clue about. There's no way to get around elemental resists that I know.
