Defense and resistances down instead of upgrade

When I level the Natural resistance talent or the Iron Skin, the defense/resitances down instead of grow its a bug or i miss something?

Can you provide screen shots for what you’re seeing? Are you saying the “tool tip” for the skill shows that the next level will provide a lower total benefit than the current one?

What level are the two skills respectively?

Natural Resistance first few levels provides great bonus to resistance, but soon starts to taper off really bad and doesn’t provide much benefit at all, but it never provides negative benefit. So it’s often to only put 1 or 2 points there, and let +skills items do the rest to get the bonus where you’d like it, but not invest too many hard points.

Iron skin is a linear scaling +10% per level, so that shouldn’t ever go down, either.

Keep in mind that NM and Hell difficulties both have resistance penalties, so if you are looking at the character stat screen in different difficulties it may seem like your resistances are going down, but not be related to Natural Resistance skill. Similarly there may be other items ore variables that are effecting Defense.
