Is a player's physical resist capped at 50% OR is it just that the amount of "Damaged Reduced by X%" that you can benefit from is capped at 50?

What I mean is...

Let's say I have Shaftstop (35)+ String of Ears (15) + Vgaze(20). Even though they give 70%, my physical resist is 50 because it's the cap. But what if I then get cursed with Amplify Damage?

If Amp puts me at -100, do those 3 items bring me up to -70? Or do they only bring me up to -50?

Your dr would be 70-100 =-30%

Also dr% above 50% helps vs crushing blow as 100% would negate crushing blow entirely, but obv not practical

Player and mercenary normally have a ceiling of DR 50% (although any excess can offset penalties that might otherwise reduce it below this ceiling).

so this fits your first example: -100 dr by amp curse and 70 dr from gears/skills will result in a total of -30 dr

oops yes, that's what I meant to say (just a little math error)

thanks

Which is it:

1) You take 200 physical damage, first amp is calculated in, so you take 400 damage - now subtract 70% = 280 = you take 120 damage.

2) You take 200 damage, and if you are amp'd and have 70% dr, you take 260 damage.

2nd

Not this shit again.
