Maximum Resist

+% Maximum Resist increases the Resist 75% ceiling which applies to players and hirelings, to an absolute maximum Resist 95%. Resist +% needs to be applied to reach the new ceiling: Resist 75% with +20% Maximum Resist will require Resist +20% to reach Resist +95%. Increasing the Resist % ceiling has a significant effect on the amount of damage that can be survived, even when compared to the Resist 75% ceiling: Resist % % Damage Survivable Damage 75 25 80 20 +25% 85 15 +66% 90 10 +150% 95 5 +400% Five times more damage can be taken with Resist 95% than Resist 75%. When combined with integer Absorb, damage can often be completely negated.
