When you say "max" do you mean 75% or 175%?

You need 175% Resists in level 100 zones. If you only have 75%, you are effectively at -25%.

how do i get to that? only if i had the option to equip two pieces of each gear LOL
i just got to lvl 100 monoliths, still have to do them all again for the empowered blessings

Not sure. I think you just do your best.

I know most monoliths have certain damage types that are most common, though, so you can switch around certain Resistances depending on what you are fighting.

The resist cap is 75% even in empowered. You get the rest of defense from stuff like health,armor,hp-leech,endurance,glancing blow and crit avoidance.

Definitely doing something wrong if squirrel build feels weak. Still my strongest build by far.

yeah idk what it is, i just dont have the julra's gloves from the maxroll guide.

i changed the build a little today but picking more dodge and the health nodes to minions instead of damage in the wolf tree it helped a little
but if my characters gets hit i die easily

The resist cap is 75%, but enemies penetrate 100% of your resistances.

You need 175% to reach true max.

Nope, anything above 75% does nothing unless enemies are hitting you with shred resistance effects

Enemies penetrate 1% of your Resistances per zone level. At level 100, that's 100%.

It tells you this when you hover over the character sheet.

Never over cap resist. You are better off increasing things like health,armor and dodge.

You need to read the WHOLE tooltip.

"Enemies penetrate 1% per area level up to 75%. This penetration applies after the resistance cap, so extra resistance over 75% has no effect unless enemies shred your resistance."

I dunno how much more clear they can be.

And yeah, getting resists decently high is generally all you need, going over 75% is ONLY desirable at all if you have something scaling off uncapped resists (and most of those aren't worth getting a ton from what I remember)

If that's what the tooltip says now, it didn't say that when I played in the past.

It also makes no sense, like many of the numerical and balance decisions of the game.

[boredsilly]

They nerfed this build for 1.0. Its nothing like it use to be.

It makes perfect sense, and if you haven't played the game in years you might want to avoid trying to correct people on the mechanics.

Resistance is good
Cap is 75 like it says
Cap doesn't ever change arbitrarily like other ARPGs.

Seems pretty straightforward?

Enemies penetrating resistances is the exact same thing as resistances lowering. Saying the cap doesn't arbitrarily change for that distinction is just bizarre.

And yeah, it is extremely straightforward. It sounds very easy to "balance" when it is impossible to actually build resistances against the enemy damage types. It's so straightforward that it takes an entire facet of character building and renders it pointless.

But seriously, you think giving every character -25% to all Resistances at level 100 isn't janky as crap? It's not like getting 75% in all resistances is difficult. My last character tore through everything, and I had it up to 150% in every resistance. It just becomes a checkbox rather than a character decision.

What?

You can build resistance. It's very useful, just not critical and build defining because it's not as overwhelming strong as many other games where resist is the MOST IMPORTANT stat in the game by far.

Characters don't get -25% resist at level 100, not sure what you think happens.

And shred is an effect on you. It's pretty different from penetration because it lowers your resistance in the character screen.

i just don't have the gloves. and it does not feel powerfull :(
i have max resists except necrotic and void and i'm struggling on lvl 100 monoliths

This is completely wrong. Anything over 75% does absolutely ZERO when it comes to res pen.

Res shred will be affected by res % over 75. U don't need much 10%-15% over capped is fine
