Sacred Flame Resistance presence

I've done some testing with Sacred Flame and after testing it seems that either I don't understand the wordig or it doesn't seem to work.

Assumption:

A monster with 0% Chaos Resistance and 50% all Elemental Resistances should take much more damage after applying a Despair with -50%.

My elemental damage stayed the same after applying the curse.

Even with other curses and trying to reduce one elemental resistance and dealing another damage type didn't seem to be increased.

Sacred flame + Doryani's prototype just doesn't work.

Tested in a monster have +50% resistance
Monster take a long time to kill while usually they die fast.

Sacred Flame doesn't work, i think

please fix it

Just did some testing of my own on Beira in Act 1 Cruel.

Here I am out of range, we can see by the icons that the boss is naturally resistant to cold and vulnerable to fire damage.


Here I'm within boss range with Sacred Flame in hand. I would expect all elemental icons to appear in red, since her elemental resistances should be set to her lowest (fire) resist. But nothing happens:


Here I put on Doriyani's Prototype with -103 Lightning Resist and the lightning vulnerability icon correctly appears. Sacred Flame still does nothing.


Here I curse the boss with Despair (-34% chaos res), which, based on the wording, should also reduce her elemental resistances. The red chaos resist icon appears, but her cold resist is still unaffected.



Just in case the resistance/damage calculation is performed after taking a hit (which would be incredibly confusing for your party members, but I digress), I tested the damage output of a single Skeletal Frost Mage. Which was doing around ~1000 damage per hit with and without me putting on Doriyani's Prototype (-103%). So we can safely conclude that the "Enemies in your presence resist elemental damage based on their lowest resistances" suffix doesn't work at all.

P.S. The extra fire damage part works as expected, and is even reflected in the minion damage tooltip.

100% sure sacred flame doesn't work. Just tested extensively with avatar of fire keystone to ensure im only doing fire damage. Bosses take no more damage when cursed with -70% despair or conductivity

Just bought sacred flame so really hoping this gets fixed soon!
