Question in regards to Freeze on bosses and their resistance

[Oregan0]

So, i have made this conq+storm toon, pretty good geared (mostly focused towards damage, But got sapros and Mercurial gems and 12/8 squall upgrade for -resist)

My question is: In normal and some epic, i could (with 12/8) Frost Spikes, Freeze almost every boss, bosses like Typhon, arachne Shame, Hades etc. This was often after the squall resistance reduction debuff.

Now in legendary, i can go Battle Standard, Squall, Hit once (this should bring the Learnean Hydra FAAAAR below 0% resist) and use Frost Spikes. Nothing happens.

Now i figured it could be due to 1 of 3 reasons.
1) Bosses in legendary has alot more frost resist
2) Resistance reduction works worse on special bosses (The hydra in particular)
3) Resistance reduction doesn't affect freeze duration / effect in anyway, the bosses have just gone from around (guess 20-40 %) to (guess 70-90 %) from normal -> legendary.

Also, does resistance reduction from things like sapros and / or squall remove pierce / physical / slow resist

As i was told:
1.Resistance reduction doesn't include resistance of slow, stun, sleep, trap, freeze, etc.
2.Except battle standard(stun) & dream pet(slow, or sleep?)

When the first time I play TQ, my friend sent me the 'Titan Cube'

'Titan Cube' is some documents and excels of tqit basic data, it shows almost everything, basic data, damage formulas, bugs, drops, moster ability, etc. I don't know the author, it's quite a project.
The documents can't be right all the time, not mention we are talking about UL , but it does help a lot for the new player like me. So we use it as a tool-book, and it's quite popular in our country.

Someting from the cube, just fyi. Sorry if you can't see the character

11、 百分比降低全部抗性
 基础伤害形式：
界面中文：XX% 降低抗性 持续 Y.Y 秒
界面英文：XX% Reduced Resistance for Y.Y Seconds
主伤害数值：抗性降低的百分比，即界面形式中百分号前的“XX”。
 相应加成：无。
 伤害输出计算：
主伤害数值 = 基础伤害主伤害数值 * (1 + 特定种族伤害加成%) * (1 - 百分比降低全部伤害%) - 降低全部伤害
持续时间 = 基础伤害持续时间
 被攻击方有效抗性：无。
 伤害实施：主伤害数值影响被攻击方的抗性。可影响除状态抗性之外的所有抗性。

The last sentence means: Can effect all the resistance but states resistance(stun, trap, slow, etc)

Never knew that.
