Do harder difficulties reduce your resistances?

Question

How do the different difficulty levels affect the gameplay?

Back in Diablo II, harder difficulties would cut some percentage points off your character's resistances (possibly making them negative). I was wondering if the same thing happens in Diablo III.

How is this a duplicate? There is basically nothing in that question or its answers that even come close to answering my question. — MBraedley, May 25 '12 at 18:54

In Diablo 3, resistances work like Armor. It reduces damage from an element by a flat amount. As you get to higher levels, the amount that gets reduced from same level monsters is reduced. So 90 resist against a level 1 monster will reduce a lot more damage than 90 resist against a level 50 monster.

So, to answer your question, no, higher difficulties do not reduce your resistances directly. Enemies are higher level, and therefore, your resistances are less effective.
