When monsters cast amp on you, what amp level is it most often? Whats the max level of amp they cast?
Want to see if its worth stacking dr and if so, how much would be needed depending on amp lvl.

Isn't only time duration that differs considering amp levels?

I think that damage taken is always +100%.

Amp is always +100% damage taken regardless of level. The only difference is radius and duration of curse.

Amplvl only increases time and range, yes.

You don't take +100% damage, you loose 100% physres

Cursed Unique cast Amp level (mlvl/5)+1 on Striking
Oblivion Knight and Stygian Fury cast Amp level 3/6/10 in Norm/Nm/Hell

The effect is the same, only the Area covered varies.
You would need 150% DR to be "immune" to the effect of Amp...

No, you would need 100% DR

Radius (Yards): (4 + (2*slvl) ) / 3
Duration (Seconds): 5 + (3*slvl)
Cursed modifier level: [mlvl/5] + 1

Unique has 75% chance to cast level [mlvl/5]+1 Amplify Damage when target is hit by an attack or a missile originating from the Unique
Stygian Fury casts it in Nightmare and Hell if target has >=80% maximum life

Minimum Amplify Damage level is 1 from a level 4 monster: 2 yard radius and 8 second duration
Maximum Amplify Damage level is 20 from a level 95 monster: 14 2/3 yard radius and 65 second duration

100% - 100% = 0% DR, you wen't from an effective 50% DR (cap) to 0%, effectively taking double physical damage.

150% - 100% = 50% DR, you stay at an effective 50% DR while cursed, and take regular damage.

Nobody mentioned the 50% resistance cap, you said "You would need 150% DR to be "immune" to the effect of Amp", which in incorrect.

He's making a post talking about stacking DR%, seems pretty fucking relevant to mention the cap. How is it incorrect? You do need to stack for a total of 150% DR to be immune to the effect of Amplify Damage.
