Resistance System
Resistances cut incoming damage, and reducing them is key to dealing it.
Resistances are one of the defensive layers in Grim Dawn, applied to damage alongside armor, shields and damage absorption. Monsters have resistances too, so stripping them away is a central part of raising a character's damage output. The wiki describes three kinds of resistance reduction debuffs.
Background
The most common kind, written as minus a percentage of a resistance for some seconds, stacks additively across sources and can push resistances below zero. A second kind, worded as a percentage reduction of the target's resistance, does not stack: only the strongest source applies and it cannot go below zero. A third kind removes a flat amount.
