Smiter Question:Is Res Fire/Cold/Lite Skill Neccassary???

Hi,just a quick question.If I am using my Smiter to go up against casters,is it a good idea to put in a single point into resist Fire/Cold/Lite and let the +skills do the rest,or would it be wasteful since my res in hell are 80/75/75/75?
The reason I ask is,I have had 3 people tell me its a good idea vs casters but,since I have max resists,wouldnt it be redundant?
Any Expert Advice is welcome and thank you in advance.

Every hard point spent in FRes/CRes/LRes will grant 0.5 pts (rounded down) to your max res. Thus with say 10 hard points in FRes, your max res will be 80 instead of 75. This is added to other sources of max-res additions, such as for instance a Guardian Angel, Hotspurs, ..., and is capped at 95. This can really make a difference when fighting casters, but it will require alot of hard points spent.
1 point in each aura will not do anything, unless you actually wan't to use them, which may be considered BM. When using the aura, all skillpoints will add to max-res (even soft points).
