Spell Resist Question

Is there any point to stacking spell resistance over the mitigation hardcap of 50% in view of spell penetration?

In other words, does spell resist create a capless pool from which spell penetration is subtracted, with a maximum mitigation of 50% from whatever is left? Or, is all spell resist reduced to the amount that produces 50% mitigation, and then spell penetration is deducted?

Setting aside the whole issue of the bugged sharpened trait, for the moment.

    I'm sure somebody knows. But I doubt you'll find them in the crafting forum.

    The point of hard cap is that you can't go over it. Are you asking about the soft cap?
