Question about Resistances

I know the resistance cap is 32k-ish, so let's say I have 32k resistance and someone has 5k penetration, they ignore resistance and hit me as if I have 27k resistance. I'm pretty sure that's the case.

BUT if I have 40k resistance(well over the cap), and they have 5k penetration and hit me... are they hitting me as if I have 35k resistance... or since the cap is 32, are they still hitting me as if I have 27k?

Did I word that properly? A friend and I are having differing opinions on the topic and I wanted to ask the forums to see if there was a consensus. Thanks in advance!

    If you have 40k resistance and them 5k penetration then they hit you as if you had 35k resistance, which since its over the cap counts as 33,100k which is 50% mitigation.

    But this doesn't matter for PvE since mobsters don't have penetration, correct?

    Correct.

    Overcapping resists only helps in PVP
