My main has like 350 each and it seems like he takes a lot less damage than my newer char who has 200 of each. They're both in the gold.. showing maxed.. But it seems like more is better.
Also curious about breakpoints for FHR Attack speed on wearwolf.. struggling to track that info down!
Thanks for your time all! ^_^

For all breakpoints use speedcalc: https://dev.median-xl.com/speedcalc/
Not sure about resists but maybe even some usual monsters have pierce to their element.. at least it seems like that. I guess cap+100 is enough (for H it's 75+100+100). Also it's depended on health pool and ofc char with 3k hp taking much more notable damage (and going into hit recovery more frequently) than char with 15k hp.

Thanks so much!

No, additional resists above max dont really help. I think the only enemies that pierce your resists are the enemies in the binding of baal quest, but they do no dmg anyways, the corrupted barbarian in the dimensional labyrinth, and all enemies in the dimensional lab after like t13. There are some enemies that use mythal, a druid skill, that reduces your resists by 20(?) if you stand in it. like mephisto, or quov tsin, but you just have to not stand in it.

What's max chance to avoid damage?

theoretically around 71 % with an maxed out assassin and

Dark Pact

Dark Pact
Circlet (Sacred)
Defense: 505 to 571
(Assassin Only)
Required Level: 100
Required Dexterity: 262
Item Level: 120
Bloodbath Is Active
Orb Effects Applied to this Item are Doubled
40% Combat Speeds
5% Chance to Avoid Damage
Maximum Avoid Chance +5%
Socketed (4)

there are very few items that give bonuses to avoid and most of them are class restricted.

Wolf Druid can go even higher. 35% innate, 20% Symbiosis, around 15% (? can't remember) Faerie Fire, 10% RW helm. Then you slam Heartseeker on for 10% more and there you go, you can't use wolf skills though.

I don't know if they have put a cap on avoid, you used to be able to get even 100% and become immortal to most things, which was just stupid...

There's no natural cap for avoid. So if you find a way to get 100% avoid (except for assa Backstab) - you will be almost immortal (some ubers reduce/negate avoid, you know)

anybody know how long this season will be ??
