Do Charms activate BEFORE or AFTER the triggering hit damage?
I'm sure this has been asked before, but I cannot for the life of me find an answer to this basic question. For example: Topaz Charm says "25% Lightning Resist for 4 seconds. Used when you take Lightning Damage from a hit". Does the bonus lightning resist apply to the initial hit itself? Or does it only activate after the fact? This is the difference between the charm being strong and being 100% useless since I'm just trying to prevent getting 1 shot. Should really state this plainly in the tooltip for the charm.

Dont think so, there is really no information about this and looks like no1 tested it, but wording implies that it activates AFTER being hit, because looking at the thing like Defiance of Destiny amulet where they have wording "before being hit" implies that they would use the same wording for charms too, that also states that something like golden charm is completely useless

I'm fairly certain it applies to the triggering hit. It's much more obvious with something like the freezing charms that stop you from being frozen when opening a strongbox that freezes.

Bumping this since I still have no clue & got two conflicting replies lol. If anyone have a definitive answer to when charms activate I'd appreciate it.

You get the full hit and if that triggers something the charm prevents it starts to prevent after the hit.
So e.g. strongbox that only freezes you is instantly unfrozen, so quick you don't see it mostly. If you get frozen by a hit e.g. shades, you get the damage get your freeze and then unfreeze instantly. If you have a resist charm the resist is for every hit after the initial one this is at least my observation. when using resist ones and getting a crit on the first hit I am oneshot, if non crit -> charm active then crit I get hit hard but not nuked.
