Is there any value in going over 75% on the elemental resistance?

I missed a stat line in my calculations and my lightning is now at 100% uncapped.

Being slightly over is nice for the elemental weakness curse maps

It provides you with a buffer to run maps that reduce your elemental resistance. There are also ways of boosting max res so those folks would stack past 75% as well.

Thanks for all the feedback. Sounds like it worked out. My lightning resistance is exactly 100%

There are nodes which increase your Max elemental resistance to 76+ etc. but more importantly there are maps/debuffs which reduce your resistances so being a bit above 75 is not soo bad if you want to play HC/safe

10% inc ele resistances more than your max to be curse proof.

Didnt t11-16 maps have a 10 all res penalty?

it offsets penetration. Being overcapped gives some more safety as enemies shredding 20% of resistance would deal 80% more damage if you're just perfectly capped.

Plus a good ele damage mitigation form is raising the cap of your resistances. That's of course more of a lategame gearing concern. Unless you're smith of kitava
