Resistance is Futile....?

I am considering an armor upgrade but as I compare the stats with the armor that I've got the only difference is 8 armor and 35 heat/cold/magic resistance. How much difference does heat/cold/magic resistance make? Is a 35 difference substantial? I have noticed a dramatic decrease in damage received from mob spells as I get closer to their level but I haven't tried comparing resistance gear to see if there is a noticeable change in damage received at my current level. Any feedback will be much appreciated. :mrgreen:

Did you finish the Tam Lin quest already? What ring did you get? They give 40 resist to either fire, ice, or magic.

Go find a mage that casts the appropriate spell (connachs do ice, faeries do ice, bloodgrooves do magic). Let them hit you with and without the ring. Those rings (i have one of each from multiple chars) helped me a lot lol.

That is great advice. I'll try it out and see how much difference the added resistance makes. Thanks! :D
