Why do I have -20% lightning resistance?
I dont have any equipped item that reduces my resistance so why do i have -20% lightning resistance?

Each act will reduce all of your resistances by -15%. Which Act are you on?

I think it just forces you to keep on top of your build and mix it up a bit

It's not all that bad. You need to roll resistances on gear and there's plenty of gear and modifier slots to do that with. To be fair, survivability is very important in POE2.

Resistances go down by 10%? in each act. you can actually see when you go to the next act, a banner at the bottom will tell you how much the resistance penalty is. Its the same total amount as in the first game but just over 5 acts and not -30% all at once in act 5.

That's because your items are getting ridiculously strong later.

From act 1 to 2 its only 10%. So at act 3 i'm pretty sure its another 10%
But at cruel its higher.
