  Capped at 33400

  
  This. However, for PvE you do not need to be concerned with that. Even in the most challenging content tanks do not equip gear to try to reach that number. They tend to wear sets that increase the damage and survival of the group.
  
  That opens up a lot of possibilities if you think about it if you are not focused on hitting the resistance cap.

  
  cap is actually 33,000, as i stated, read about it here- https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/279426/damage-mitigation-explanation-updated-for-murkmire/p1,
  
  relevant quote here-
  

  For Champion point 160+ characters the hard cap for resistance is 33,000, or 660 resistance per 1% mitigated, which then tops it of at 50%. You can have more resistance than what the hard cap allows but it won't give you more mitigation, however, in PvP if someone debuffs you then having resistance above the hard cap can sometimes allow you to stay at hard cap if the debuff is to weak or your buffed resistance is strong enough.
