% to Max Res question in PVP

[Gotcha]

Not sure if this is the correct forum but I will pose the question here.

4 Lo shield will get you to 95% LR, is there a huge diff between 90% and 95% when the sorcy has a huge damage. Same for 4 Vex shield to hit 95% rather then hotspurs and another item.

Also once you get to 95%, if this is the choice, is stacking resists above lets say on average like 35 or 40 worthless (not considering stacking just for cold mastery, conv, facets) since only abs items will help any further? I understand the general idea I think behind stacking (used to negate the -% of conv, cold mastery and facets).

Thanks for any help that can be given.

U understood everything very good. Concerning resistances stacking its hard to answer. Everything depends what U duel. The less U will need to stack fire resistances, except if some wierd FB sorc uses 2 Pheonixes and facets (~65% fire res). Against FoH U need to stack ~170 light resistances, also if he uses facets. Against cold sorc ~240. Against light sorc and CS zone ~40 (if they use griffon).

yeah their is a bit of difference between 90 res and 95. Also i noticed that is better to have higher res, (max res) and less absorb than having lower res and higher absorb.

Having stacked res is alway good to have against other opponments cuz players like fohs can use alot of res negating stuff on top of the conviction. i.e a good faceted Griffon possible facet in shield and a 5 sock foh weap with 5 facets.
Also CS Zonz can carry alot of res negating equipment as well

i think a guardian angel + tgods is much better, lower str reqs and more perks :)
