90/90/90/90 resists in Hell - how?

[Kronos]

With Guardian Angel, that is. How the hell can people do it? I've been looking through my collection for a setup that could give a paladin that, and the closest i can get is 60/60/60/60, lol. Makes the Guardian rather pointless. Maybe i just have to WSK for a while looking for more shimmering charms, lol.

A Sanctuary runeword paladin shield can add around +100 resist all, depending on what it had before you added the runes. With the resistance scrolls and a decent resist all amulet, or a couple of charms you can reach 90 resist all using guardian angel, but it does take a lot of resistance gear.

[Dodgydave]

If you used a setup such as:

Rhyme Paladin Shield of some description with inherant 40+ resists (Total 65-70 all resist), Kira's Gaurdian (up to 70% all resists) Rare/Magic Amulet with up to 30 all resists this could give about 170 all resist. Combine with the 30% you get from Anya Quests and you're up to 200% all resists or well past 90/90/90/90 in Hell, and thats not even considering any resists on your rings, weapon, gloves, belt or boots.

So it is certainly possible to reach 90/90/90/90 resists without to much effort or exceptionally elite gear.

HoZ+PDiamond/Um: 69/72
Guardian Angel+UM/Res Jewel:15
Maras:30
Thats 117, then we add Anya(30) for 147. We are going for 190.
Missing 43. The easy way to go is a Kiras Guardian, with that you dont need the socket in guardian angel.
But you can also go with Crown of Ages for 20-30 res and 1-2 sockets. For upto 60 res.

So. 72+15+30+30+60=207. Even a bit overkill, and it is all good equipment.
Imagine on a defiant smiter... :drool:

EDIT: But for one of those a Guillames Face with all res jewel, and then toss in some charms would be better.

He cannot use Kira's as he needs to use Peasant Crown...he forgot to mention he is making a Martyr...

[Dodgydave]

Well that does make it a little harder, but it's of course still doable it's just take more equipment dedicated towards resists. eg rings 10% all resist, socketing armour/helm for resists and don't forget charms go a long way to filling resistance holes.

By the way, whats a Martyr (using sacrifice at a guess? yes/no/maybe) and whys peasant crown so important? If it's posted somewhere on teh forum don't answer I'll probably find it, if no enlighten me please. :thumbsup:

[Kronos]

Not Peasant Crown, Crown of Thieves (for the leech, mostly).

And yes, a Martyr is a pally who uses Sacrifice as his main attack, fully synergised.

Edit: aka

20 Sacrifice
20 Fanatacism
20 Redemption
20 Holy Shield

Guess shimmering charms are about my only go, max i can get with my endgame equip is 60% all :(

[Sint Nikolaas]

Here's my setup of my V/T with 90/90/95/90 resist in hell.
Harle / Pruby
Mara's 23% (still low)
GA / Pruby
HoZ / um (that's 72%)
Sandstorm's (50 pr)
Tgods (+to max lr)
Bloodfist (upgr)
rare dual leech all resist ring (all res 7%, 17% pr)
dwarfstar / ravenfrost
silence phaseblade (75%) (you could go with a wizzy which has also 75%)
That's 187 fire/cold/lightning and 247 poison resist.
With the 30 you'll get from anya that's past 200..
Then I have small charms to lift fire/lightning/cold over 200 to get a little buffer.

:drink: Sint

ps. You could socket the helm and armor with um's.. (instead of Pruby's) to get another 30% all res

[DeathMaster]

Add pally skills, it is easy to get 95/95/95/90 in Hell.

Otherwise, a barb is unbeatable, NR rocks.

Assassin with Fade on will easily get 90/90/95/90, but what kind of assassin will wear GA?

[trowaclown]

I used an aerin shield with a natural mod of 43% resist all and socketed it with 4 PDiamonds. Just a little less defence and loss of mods.

[Kronos]

Looks like i'm going to need to get richer in a hurry, lol.

[Icebird]

Don't forget charms. The resist all charms can be hard to find but single element charms drop quite often. You can get up to 11% on small charms and up to 30% on grand charms. Useful for filling holes in the resists department. Ik Belt is good for resists if you're not wearing something else.

Both my Talonsins, W/S and C/C respectively. Note that the increased block speed from GA drops claw block speed by one frame. The overall effect on blocking with Stormshield isn't wasted either. 90/90/95/95 resists with 50% PDR and absorb from Raven along with 75% block at a fast rate makes for a great tank.

As I said earlier, any charms my Zealot won't need you can trade for, and NM Cows are good to get skillers and charms to cube to skillers, which you can trade for items...

Any nice +Combat Skills (Paladin) with +life and I will line up!

[Nightfish]

This may just be me, but I don't think it's necessary to have 90% resis. Unless you have less than 500 life, I guess. None of my chars have had more than 75% in any element and most them had less than 75% in everything except lightning and they still made guardian. In your cast it might work to socket your armour with an ort. You said you had 60%, add 30% from the ort, et voilà: 90% LR.

[NSXdreamer]

I had to fill most of my inventory with various resist charms to get to 95/95/95/95 on my avenger, which is a pain in butt. My hammerdin however didn't have much of a problem, with weapon/amulet/shield all add on to resist, 90/90/90/90 was easy.

Yup, these are how I make about half of my Zealots resists... using these leaves you more open for different gear variations.

I use to like having 95/95/95/95 in resistance with my avenger, until I realized that it was really pointless (except for lightning and fire resistance). I think damage is much more important than max resistance. :)

[whitejoker]

my pally has 90/90/95/90 in hell too :drool:
he uses:
um'ed shako
P maras
um'ed G-angel
P hoto
um'ed hoz
an anni w/ 18resis to all
t-gods
eth storm trek
and +30 from anya quests
(other equipment slots i didn't mention is that they don't have resis on them)
i think that's pretty much all and i get that resis in hell... :yep:

Please say this is on b.net... You can't get an Annihilus in SP without modding...

Yeah, the fire/cold/poison is pretty much useless, but it still sounds cool. :teeth: With SoE and some other absorb, it's still nice to know that he is totally immune to any monster elemental attack.

Personally, I consider lightning and poison the most important to get over 75%. Lightning is sufficient at 85% with +20 absorb (read: Thundergod's). Poison is the one worth having at 95% though if you run Baal...Achmel's poison is just horrible, and 95% greatly increases your survivibility greatly there.

[DX-Crawler]

It's easy to achieve with a Hammerdin. Um'd HoZ, Wizardspike and Guardian Angel

One word on poison resists: Antidote potions. They boost your poison resistance *and* max pois resist for 30 seconds. Drink one before Achmael, drink one afterwards to clear up the poison. They even work on mercs.

Poison length reduction is usually more effective than poison resist anyway. If you're really paranoid, switch on Death's Gloves.

Very true, but you're forgetting the "player laziness" factor here ;)

[Milamber]

Antidote potions.
What are these? :scratch:

[Craptacular]

I was surprised how easy I got to 90+ res all, just did it last night on my hammerdin for WSK runs. Moser's with 2 pdiamond, Mara's, Guardian Angel, Tgods and wiz spike was about it. Now I am going to start swapping in MF to see what I can still do them with.

[Thaxorin]

well my paladin has 90/90/90/95 with this set up...

(only listing things that have +resistances)

Anderials Visage (-30 F, +70 P)
High Lords Wrath (+35 L)
Guardian Angel (increases max of all +15)
Grizwalds Honor w/ 3 perfect diamonds (+102 to all)
Natures Peace (+26 P)
Sandstorm Treck (+62 P)
Grand Charm (+28 C, +20 F, +30 F, +19 C)
Large Charm (+6 ALL, +12 F)
Small Charm (+6 F, +5 F, +9 L, +9 L, +4 ALL, +11 F, +9 C)

Phew... ok lets total it up:

Fire : -30, +102, +20, +30, +6, +12, +6, +5, +4, +11 = +165
Cold : +102, +28, +19, +6, +4, +9 = +168
Lightning : +35, +102, +6, +9, +9, +4 = +165
Poison : +70, +102, +26, +62, +6, +4 = +260 (a little over kill :P)

there you go :)

[sunbearie]

I simply use a 110% resist all pally shield (with 4Pdiamonds) with my hammerdin. Sanctuary would be the richer version :) With that, either prismatic jewelery+charms can get you 90 resists all. Of course, I haven't found a HoZ yet :lol:

Yeah, my main problem is so many equipment slots i've reserved for choice gear. HoZ for shield, Crown of Thieves for helm, Guardian Angel for armor, Dracul's Grasp for gloves.

I'm going to start lots of Pit runs with my fishy, he can get to about 440% MF now. Hopefully i'll find sufficient equip and charms to outfit my pally properly. Might even try out Hell Cows - CE should make running them relatively easy.

I wonder how Lightsabre would be as an endgame weapon. I'd intended on Baranar's for the elemental damage and bonus to attack rating, but the 25% lightning res from Lightsabre would help (of course, i haven't found one yet, so may be a moot point, lol).
