There are five types of resistances in Diablo III, represented by symbols of different colors in your character's combat statistics window.
 
 
 
 
 
* Blue Snowflake = Frost
 
* Red Flame = Fire
 
* Purple Thunder = Lightning
 
* Green Skull = Poison
 
* Yellow Icon = Arcane
 
 
 
 
 
Magic is a fickle and unpredictable force, and every character and creature is able to resist the effects of spells. The chance of successfully avoiding the effects of a dangerous spell is primarily affected by Level, but outside factors may give the character a bonus.
 
 
 
 
 
The Resistance ratings displayed in the Character Information screen display only bonuses granted from outside sources.
 
 
 
 
 
Arcane resistance protects the character from spells that expel raw magical energy, or spells that attempt to change or transform the character’s physical form.
 
 
 
 
 
Fire resistance provides defense against fire spells of all types. It can also help to resist the attacks of creatures and weapons that use fire or heat to cause damage.
 
 
 
 
 
Lightning resistance defends against electrical attacks of all types, from lightning bolts to the powerful charges exuded by certain creatures.
 
 
 
Frost resistance decreases the amount of damage received from frost spells, but won't make you immune to slow or freeze effects.
