What is Potent Warding in Diablo 4
In Diablo 4, Potent Warding is a passive skill for the Sorceror Class that players can unlock and upgrade up to three times to increase its effects.
So, what does Potent Warding do? Well, Potent Warding gives you resistance to all elements whenever you cast a non-basic skill with an additional resistance for the Skill’s element.
To put it in simpler terms, it is a defensive passive skill that helps you increase your resistance to every element in the game.
While it may not sound that important, Potent Warding is vital in creating the perfect Sorceror builds for tackling the end-game content and provides good utility whether you are in the early or late game.
Here’s the description of the Potent Warding Skill: “After casting a Non-Basic Skill, you gain 2% Resistance to all elements and 1% additional Resistance to that Skill’s element for 9 seconds.”

Rank 2
