Elemental Resistances

Looking at the crafted sets and noticed that Trial By Fire says it will increase you gain 7727 resistance to x element.
What does that mean? My character screen does not list elemental resistances. What percentage reduction does that actually come out to?
WHY DOES THIS GAME HIDE EVERYTHING FROM ME!?

"Never go in, miss. Never say a prayer at its door. If you are angry, do not seek revenge by the Laughing Maiden Stone, or at the threshold of the Tombs. There be those who listen for oaths and vows...What may be said in innocence and ire becomes flesh and blood in such places."

✭✭✭✭✭It reduces elemental damage taken by about 12% for the respective element.
Check out UESP Build Editor for these things.This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.1 -

They thought it would simplify the UI by listing only things they deemed necessary. I agree that this is counter intuitive. If a price of gear or effect says it alters a stat, that stat should be visible somewhere. Preferably with a tooltip for more details.3 -

It would be even more useful if hovering over the stat would show how much it actually mitigates (or attempts to mitigate before penetration).

✭✭✭✭✭Elemental Resistances are really a missed opportunity that would spice up PvE and PvP combat.
It is highly strange that we have such high "All Resistance" (the new Armor stat) and such vanishingly low elemental-specific resistances.
In most RPGs it is precisely the reverse situation of this, where you can have either a small amount of All Resistance or a much larger tranche of elemental resistance. That then feeds into how you build your character and allows you to gear for specific combat encounters where one specific type (or a small subset) of damage is prevalent.
Of course, this ties into the lack of elemental weaknesses of enemies (and players, even the vampire penalty is modest) and of the paucity of options to event increase element-specific resistances.
As I said, a missed opportunity.1
