No and no.

Maxing res cap is not complicated, it just takes certain mods to get. Perfect gems for instants have +1 max res on them. Then just load up on resistance until its capped. Res is naturally capped at 75% but with the +max res mod it can go higher.

Physical res max can't be increased. It is capped naturally at 50%, but is harder to get with certain characters.

Magic res is not needed. It is nice if you get some for certain areas but can be done without.

Ty for clarifying the Magic Res.

But u got my question wrong. I asked about maxing both Resistance cap and Physic Resistance at the same time, and not Phys cap.

How many runs on average does it take to get a Shaad rune in single player?
I want one, but toraja is just too boring to run often. Found 2 Krys the first run, one Auhe after 5-6 runs.
I'm not really looking forward to doing 10's of runs just to find the damn thing.

Being able to max both is harder on some characters than others. A lot of times, maxing physical res can't be done without sacrificing something else. Paladins for example can get physical and elemental res maxed pretty easy do to Blessed Life passive.

Last I heard, the rarity was 3 Krys : 2 Auhe : 1 Shaad. I don't know if that's still accurate, but if it is then you should be able to get one in about 10 runs?

Yeah I think the ratio is 3 2 1, but the amount I've found is of course variance and has little bearing on the true odds :P.

Yeah, for things with such low drop rates it's often better to talk about things like 90% confidence intervals. Even your average 6% trophy drop can get a little wonky sometimes - you should average one every 16-17 runs but it's not too weird (1 in 10) for it to take 37, and there's that 1 in 100 poor soul out there who doesn't get one until 75 runs.

Statistics is cruel sometimes. :twisted:
