How much elemental resist ignore does Nw actually have

So I was looking through skills, and my friend is trying to convince me IM wrong. I believe NW has 90% elemental resist ignore or what ever its actually called(the part where CRA/magnus/emp cut your damage in half)

Beginner tab we have elemental expert which says it frees us from elemental restrictions on our attacks. -50% elemental attributes
then in 3rd job we have enveloping darkness- "elemental resistance +30%"
and finally our link skill "+10% elemental resistance"

So is it 90% or 50% and the other 40 is just talking about enemy attacks with elemental attributes?

The 3rd job skill and link skill are status resist. I.e. defense against debuffs like seduce, blindness, seal, etc. The skill in the beginner tab is elemental ignore, which ignores 50% of the elemental attributes of your own attack, making them more effective against bosses that resist said attributes. Ergo, more effective on cvell, magnus, etc.

It's 50%, meaning you would do 75% of your damage to bosses that usually half your damage.

the elemental resistance from enveloping darkness and link skill is a defensive attribute, it actually reduces elemental attacks done to you by 30%. ie if a bain fireball atk normally does 1000 damage to you, it would be 700 with elemental resistance (30%)
