Online:Oblivion Damage

Oblivion Damage is a type of damage that cannot be resisted by any damage reduction effects or by Blocking. Physical and Spell Resistance also do not mitigate it and it bypasses Damage Shields by always damaging the Health pool. Dodging however works as usual. Fortunately, sources of Oblivion Damage are very rare, being found mostly as set bonuses. Note that Oblivion Damage cannot do Critical Strikes. So it is more effective against heavily armored enemies.

Sources

Skills

• Malevolent Offering and its morphs deal Oblivion Damage to yourself.
• The Anchorite's Cruelty Signature Script makes your scribed Soul Burst or Wield Soul skills consumme a Soul Gem to deal Oblivion damage over time that scale with the target's Max Health and deal up to 100% more damage to enemies under 50% Health.

Enchantements

• A weapon with a Glyph of Decrease Health enchantment, made with a subtractive potency rune and Okoma, will deal Oblivion Damage.

†The Glyph of Decrease Health enchantement can criticaly strike and triggers sets and passives triggered by dealing critical damage such as Hemorrhage. This is not intended behavior, fortunately its damage isn't increased when criticaly striking.
