How much res for max res?

I read somewhere that you need 200, but why? I know in hell it goes -100, but then once you get that 100 the max is 75, so why not 175?

I would also like to know how much I would need if I had all the anya quests done and I was doing uber trist - is there something that reduces res?

They were talking about how the anya quest boni will disappear after you die and leave you with less than max resist but lcs will not display it.

yes. For UberTrist, I believe Mephisto has a Conviction aura that will lower your resists by quite a lot, so you'd possibly want some extra resists... a BNet player will have to fill in the details, since I can't do the quest in single player and know very little about it.

There are also ways for people to boost their own maximum resistances. For example, Guardian Angel (unique Templar Coat) adds 15% to your maximum fire, lightning, poison, and cold resists, so you could possibly get as much as 90% resistance to these elements. These boosts can be especially handy in PvP. You can boost your maximum resists in other ways, but the absolute highest it can ever go is 95%. You can never become completely immune to an element (although, when combined with high resistances, items that absorb damage can make you effectively immune to an element).
