Total Resistance

[Strider]

Does Total Resistance mean resistance from elemental attacks only, or resistance from all attacks (regular)?

[Ceroth]

elemental only.

so if you have maxed 60% bonus dmg and enemy max elemental res (75%) you end up doing 15% more dmg which is equal to the 15% HP buff.

If you have mono res -75% and all resist -25% then you totally neglect elemental damage.

I would be to powerful to affect normal attacks (combine it with warrior class reduction).

sorry, but the cap is 75% per element.
you can get those by using 3 mono items or 3 all elemental items, but 75% is cap.

I don't believe the cap is 75%

I believe for cap for elemental resistance is 75% and the cap for total resistance is 25% but I believe those combine for a total of 100%

My question is ... does the Total Resistance count against a standard attack (with or without elemental damage)

What does "Total Resistance" mean?

[Leander]

Resistance is only relemental resistance in contrast to armor and normal damage.

Examples:

10% fire resistance against fire damage
15% cold resistance against cold damage
8% total resistance = 8% resistance against fire, cold AND lightning damage

Is maximum 100%?

75% fire + 25% total
75% cold + 25% total
75% lightning + 25% total

i already told you it's 75%. xD

Well that would defeat the purpose of the individual resistance and the total resistance

Once you reach elemental 60% you'd reach total 20% and together they would max out at 75% instead of 80%

Equipping all 3 individual resistance at 75% would negate the need for 25% total resistance .... which would end up redundant

Not sure why Playa would develop something redundant after it has maxed out.

I guess it is 75+25. I prefer total resistance as you only need one item and have more slots for a gold or XP bonus.
