100 poison resist ?

[Noquid]

I have 100 poison resist and thought I'd be safe now vs. poison...Nope. What is poison resist then? And if my resist is at 100, does it help any to wear the poison resist ring?

Magic and status resistances are percentages but represented from 0 to 1000. Your 100 is actually 10.0, that is, 10% resistance.

Also it reduces only the buildup speed and, iirc, it removes your current buildup faster. But it won't reduce the damage once you're actually poisoned.

I believe that most resists are based on the time and application of whatever you are trying to resist. 100 doesn't mean immune to poison. It just means that it will be a little slower to be fully poisoned. Sometimes, it's not even noticeable of just how much slower due to varying amounts of poison and poison damage percentages that you may encounter. That being said, I really enjoyed Prepare to Die Edition because there were a couple outfits that had massive poison resistance that went well over 100. If you are wasting stat points on it, don't put any more. The only things that will help after a certain point are things that you wear. Rings don't do much. You need to find some full armor, gloves, helm and pants with the resistances that you need for a certain situation to make resistance really effective.

900 is 100% resistance I believe ^^

Thanks. it would be nice have the stat something like 100/900 or actually have it as a %, kinda misleading.
