"Vulnerable to Chaos" seems broken

Hey devs!

When using
- Chaos Damage Skills, e.g. Bane/Blight/Essence Drain
- on an Ocultist
- with reducing Chaos resistence of nearby enemies by Wither/Blight
I deal no Damage to mobs with the tag "Vulnerable to Chaos".

In my understanding "vulnerability to a specific damage type" means that these mobs should take increased damage of this damage type.

So this is either a damage dealing bug or a wording issue:
a) here the mobs should take more chaos damage, instead of no damage at all!
b) it's a wording problem (text "Vulnerable to Chaos" should be replaced with "Resist Chaos" or "Immune to Chaos")?

Thanks for fixing in advance.

Regards

Expedition mobs?
Yes, expedition mobs.

You have activated the modifier "Monsters are Immune to Chaos Damage" (read more carefully expedition mods). "Vulnerable to Chaos" means their chaos res is below 0. "Immune to Chaos Damage" means they don't take chaos damage and it is not shown in the properties of mobs. (If you use CI, your chaos res also can be below 0 but you don't take chaos damage)

Thank you for explaining.

Let's recap for the expedition monsters:
- these monster could have -60% vulnerability to chaos damage,
- the monster properties shows "Vulnerable to Chaos",
- BUT the monsters are actually "Immune to Chaos Damage",
- AND monster properties does not show "Immune to Chaos Damage"?

I find it very confusing to display a text, which standalone means the opposite of something, when the most important piece of information in that context is missing (here Immunity).

Resistance does not matter for damage when immune.
If a mob/monster is immune, displaying a vulnerability (res below 0) is irrelevant and misleading!

Why display "Vulnerable to Chaos" at all in the monster properties?
Why not simply display the more important property "Immune to Chaos"?

monster modifiers from expedition do not show on mouse over on the mob, you have to pay attention to what remnants you are exploding.
Expedition mods are shown on the expedition icon at the bottom right next to the skills

Nope, if you are CI your chaos res is always 100% no matter what.
