Made a full set of root armor and went into a swamp with wolf armor on except I wore the root helm. Found me a blob and let it pop its poison cloud. I was expecting no damage but I was poisoned and took damage.

I expected it to work like the wolf cloak just put it on and be immune.

So is it bugged or is it only meant to mitigate some of the poison damage?

If it's only mitigation it might be helpful to change the description to something other than resistant.

it does work exactly like the wolf cloak, as the wolf cloak reduces frost damage by 50% and reduces the timer for the frost effect by 50%. Freeze damage is not frost, but the fact that frost resistance makes you immune to it is simply an added benefit of the buff
