that is to say, if I had 10 bajillion forum gold, for a well built bvc, 37x 20/5's is better than 37x 3/20/20's
Stacked resists are far more important than measly damage / ar. Leave the that to BvB's, its worthless on a BvC. With just grief+beast alone, you have enough damage/AR to kill any caster, and you can't hit paladins without angelics on, even with the 3/20/20's. So if I were to stack gg charms on a char, it would be a bunch of 20/5's, maybe some 20/11's in the mix.
37x 3/20/20's and you won't need stacked res...you'll straight up one-shot the shit outta people lol.

The only benefit to 0% resist is against cold. Anything else, and you're at a disadvantage. Especially poison.
That's why I said you roll over dead to ww sin variants, which are the only serious, competitive, builds in the game that use poison in pvp.
You also need to consider that sorcs can get crazy amounts of mana...so much mana, in fact, that it's more mana than they would have life.
To put it in another way:
Which would you rather have?
100 life w/ 75 all res?
Or 6k life with 0 res?

And IIRC, the damage reduction by energy shield is only 25%. The cap for gear is what, 55? Therefore DR maxes out at 80%. That's a lot, yeah, but you're sacrificing a lot of damage to get to that point.
Energy shield can absorb up to 95% of damage.
Not to mention, survivability > damage any day.
Now if you'll excuse me, it's my lunchtime

This would've been a good post in my book if it didn't contain the immature, ignorant insults at the end. I knew as I neared the bottom of the post that I was about to read an insult. You're too predictable.
Reliable criticism is not flaming and making personal insults. If you think it is, then you need to re-evaluate criticism as a whole. Reliable criticism is pointing out the problem, and subsequently giving advice to correct it. Your example is Immature Criticism.
Now that i've addressed that properly, yes, I do agree with the beginning of your post.
