Resiliance Cap

[Sizzsgirl]

Hi guys,

Should I on my S2 Lock set be filling yellow slots with +8 res gems instead of per say stam gems or dmg gems? Ive currently got no arena armor yet, but saved some points and soon to have some. When is it time to cut back on Res and and put more dmg/ extra stats? I really dont wanna have millions of res gems and lower dmg/stam but where is the line here? btw whats the resiliance cap anyways?

Thanks Sizz[/u]

Edit: Thanks Amenti , your always great help!!! Res for now it is!

Well you're a little short of the resilience "cap." At around 492 res, you stop taking less damage from crits (25% dmg reduction is current max). Res after that will still affect the chance to get crit, but you'll still take the same amount of damage.
When you first start replacing damage gear it can be tough since you seem to be gimping yourself so badly, but in the long run you'll be much better off with stam/res gems/enchants on your gear unless your stats are good enough. You have a pretty decent amount of HP as it is, and once you start replacing FSW you'll have a good amount of HP for a lock, so I'd focus on res for a while.
