Importance of resists?

[Coren]

Trying to sort out some ToA SC and looks like something might have to suffer....so can anyone post a link to that chart of different spell dmg types? And what resist would you lose if you had to choose? Atm I am thinking cold or possibly matter; don't seem as essential as body or heat etc., and being a friar I can buff them to offset the loss a bit.

cap all except spirit/matter . those atleast 15% and take red heat & cold spec on your friar

agree mainly with aussie, although spirit is more important than matter if u have to choose 1 or the other.

Although at times item resists feel utterly pointless with various casters currently having 25% resist piercing.

Thatll be a very welcome change when we get it.

yeh i thought the same about cold resist but changed my mind rather rapidly when i saw how many eld's had gone dd cold spec. add this to the number of mid casters we are seeing in rvr now (nearly all mid caster dd's r cold dmg) and its possibly one of the most important resist there is.

i would drop spirit and matter some... but still try keep them at ~20% if poss

Spirit and matter as most others say, again, spirit is probably the more important of the two but you don't want any resist to be below 15% if possible.
