Okay I'll try and buy different gear, it's just hard balancing stats because of the dex and int requirements we need to get on the gear for giants blood too.

How impactful is 1% extra max rez, do you know the math?

Agree that getting everything we need is a challenge, but is a meetable one.

Max res Math: 1/(100-current max res)= percent reduced damage for an incremental point of max res for the applicable damage type)

Luck!

Hi

I think I can help with the math on illustrating the value of having higher max resistance. Lets assume you have 2500 life and are facing some lightning damage. Your resistance determines how much damage you take. A good measuring stick for how well you do against this damage is to calculate how much damage will kill your character.

0% resistance = 2,500 damage
50% resistance = 5,000 damage
75% resistance = 10,000 damage
90% resistance = 25,000 damage

Although each 1% seems small, the cumulative effect of going from capped at 75% and capped at 90% is huge, you effectively multiply your life pool by 250% against that type of damage. It is far easier to go from 75% resistance to 90% resistance than to go from 2,500 health pool to 6,250.

Although I'm a novice compared to most everyone on these forums I've actually played a 90% capped resist character before and found the effort to be "worth it".
