3 years ago I did a little testing on this with my 45 BLM with uncapped (but close) elemental skill vs IT cactaur in West Altepa + my BRD using threnody. I was able to land 25 consecutive full damage Thunders on a Cactaur with Lightning Threnody on, so I don't think this strange behavior is affecting ALL aspects of resists. I switched to 75SMN and tested on the higher level Antican Hplomachus next to the cactaur with Rolling Thunder from Ramuh and noticed the additional damage from Rolling Thunder would vary WILDLY once I put the lightning threnody on. Before it I only saw ~15 per hit, but after it there were a lot of procs for 0 and 3 mixed in witht he procs for 15. The issue might be localized to enspells.

At the very least Lightning Threnody does not work as it should. In the following screenshots my RDM is meleeing a Devil Manta with Enthunder on (weapon is Joyeuse). I will show pictures before I apply Lightning Threnody and after. Please note the change in additional effect damage. It appears to be averaging lower only after Threnody is applied, which I do not believe is accurate. Lightning Threnody lowers the mob's resistance to Lightning as per the tooltip. It should not be increasing it!

EDIT: Added Ice Threnody screenshots as well. Same exact problem!
Something's up with at least Lightning and Ice Threnody. May also be an interaction with the enspell? Either way it is doing exactly the opposite of what it intends right now. Please look into it! Thank you!
