What does it mean if a monster is “vulnerable”?

Question

Pretty frequently I'll be fighting an enemy and alongside all of the damage numbers that come flying up, I'll see the word "Vulnerable" popup above the enemy hitbox briefly.

What does this convey? Is this a term for staggering an enemy with your attacks? Is it a specific condition like poison?

If it matters, I've been playing almost exclusively in the Finesse tree, using Faeblades and Daggers (whatever I find a better one of at the time), with a heavy investment into the passive skill that allows me a chance to poison my targets.

Answer

From, what I've managed to find out, that means that they are vulnerable to a specific type of damage (i.e. spiders and boggarts using fire) which increases the damage done. The opposite is "resisted" where they are strong against a specific element, such as spiders when using poison or fire sprites using fire.
