Monsters that are immune to spells take no damage from that type of element, and will not even be touched by it. A fire immune monster won't be hit by or notice fire damage of any type, will walk straight through a Firewall, etc. This can be used to your advantage in some cases; players can shoot lightning or fire into a room and draw out all the non-immune monsters, while the immune ones remain quiescent. | Monsters that are immune to spells take no damage from that type of element, and will not even be touched by it.

(Exceptions include weapons that deal 200% damage to Demons or Undead and the weapon bonuses/penalties on swords and blunts vs. undead and animals.) | No monsters in Diablo have any resistance to physical damage, so melee weapons and arrows (not counting the elemental damage found on some weapons) will almost always deal 100% damage to their target.
