If someone uses a spell that uses lightning, both shock resist and spell resist will combine to reduce the damage taken.

If a weapon ability uses shock, then typically it will be reduced by both armor and shock resist.

You can always stack more of a specific resist on one jewelry than you could of either armor or spell resist since they block overall.

If you are a vamp, get a nice gold glyph of fire resist and put it on a ring or amulet. It will go a long way for you. I'd rather be over the cap than under it when it comes to fire resist on vamps. For WW, ehhh the poison is rarely an issue since it is not as spammable as fire is so the poison resist IMO is optional there.


BTW for my examples above.. in place of lightning/shock you can put fire, ice, etc..

so as a medium user a spell resistance glyph and a fire resistance glyph will put a huge dent in fire?

If your fire damage is dealt by spells. If it's dealt by weapons, then only the Fire resist will apply.

The most you will be able to negate is hard capped at 50%. You can do this with jewelry enchantments or you can combine your total spell resist and armor value PLUS that specific fire resist. One gold fire resist glyph is close to 30% fire resist. So if you are a vamp and want to negate the extra 50% damage you take, you will need to hit the hard caps using armor/spell resist and fire resist, unless you plan to put multiple fire resist glyphs on your jewelry which IMO is a waste since you can do it using spell resist/armor values PLUS 1 gold fire resist glyph.

wanted to lower fire and spell damage since shards hurt but if they both add together it's the best of both and more i gess
