In particular I'm trying to get as much cold res as I possibly can, currently 90 across the board and adding more gear with +max cold res doesn't seem to do anything. Is 90 all the game can display, but in reality it goes higher if viewed on D2stats? I'm using an old version of D2stats btw so res isn't displayed.


On the character screen you will see two numbers in the resistance panel:

Image

The number on the right is the total resistance for the element and the number on the left is the resistance after reductions which is capped at 90%. You can "Overcap" this resistance meaning stack more total resistance so that when a monster has elemental pierce it doesn't reduce your resistance below 90%.

Example:
There are 2 characters in hell difficulty (70% elemental resistance penalty) which are getting damaged by a monster which has 30% fire pierce
Character 1 has no additional maximum res and has a total fire resistance of 200%.
Character 2 has no additional maximum res and has a total fire resistance of 150%.


On the character sheet both characters will display that they have 75% fire resistance capped.

Character 1 after resistance penalty of 70% and getting hit with fire dmg w/ pierce of 30% now has the equivalent of 100% fire resistance which gets capped to 75%

Character 2 after resistance penalty of 70% and getting hit with fire dmg w/ pierce of 30% now has the equivalent of 50% fire resistance despite your character sheet saying you are capped at 75%.


Thx for the answer. It sounds like it's impossible to display above 90 res to any element, but that being said it's possible to overstack res like you said so that enemies like Phoboss are less likely to 1shot me with cold damage if I overstack cold res.

From Sigma it's not possible to stack 95% effective max res anymore (cap were lowered to 90%) still it can counter if there is something that reducing your maximum resist (like mahasatva curse or aura at Sam fight) just like having more than 50% dr will counter collosuem, amplify damage and so on.

iirc you need to cube the pulsating worldstone shard with a Ghost Trance, a Demonsbane or Assur's Bane (forgot which one of those), a neutrality pact, a Glorious Book of Median and a Void Ring. Then you have charged the shard to produce Portal scrolls via shard + 25 sigs + Taha -> shard + scroll

Thank you very much for your answer. I see

Some Items cannot be seen completely, because there are so many Affixes, MO-Listing, Set-Bonus-Text, etc.
Is there a chance to see the whole item?
I already tried zooming in/out with Str+MouseWheel upo/down, but that changes nothing. Even using an other browser doesn´t wordk

It's similar to Holy Fire aura from vanilla, bonespirit built around it couple seasons ago.

It's an Earth rune. You make it by cubing an earth elemental essence with a blank runestone. Both of which can be found farming Teganze

Teganze Pendant is a tiered unique amulet. Not sure about using them as currency though.
