How to Deal with Conditions and Status Effects in Diablo 4

If you have trouble with one or more of the status effects in Diablo 4, there is a way to solve the issue. Rare and legendary armor can increase your resistance to particular status effects and will be shown in its stats in your inventory. These resistance stats can then be increased by upgrading the armor at the Blacksmith for an exchange of materials such as Iron and Silver Ore.

Besides stats on armor, players can also help increase their resistance through gems. Some armor will have sockets where players can add gems that grant additional buffs such as increased attack power, damage reduction, and resistance to specific status effects. Players can usually find Gems in dungeons, cellars, and strongholds where Elite enemies drop the higher-leveled ones.
