if you go past 75 res, does elemental dmg do the same dmg to u?

eg. i have max res in all difficulties. do elemental attacks do the same dmg in hell as in norm?

yes it would do the same dmg to you, unless like for cold mastery for instance lowers your opponents cold resis so having more than 75 would benefit in that case. Same goes with the -res from facets and I think conviction works the same way.

Yes and no..

Obviously, stacking past 75 will help vs. cold mastery, conviction etc.
Stacking resist will also help vs. the Anya glitch. The glitch is that once you die in a game, you lose all your resist bonuses (usually 30% resist all from 3 difficulties) from Anya.
I.E. you have 70 fire resist in normal including your 3 anya quests. You die once, your actual fire resist is now 40%, although it still displays 70% on your screen.
If you stacked to 105.. this would make sure you had atleast 75 even after the anya glitch turns on (or you can just rejoin the game).

even ive heard different answers to this.. and it seems as though playing displays a different answer than this.

when running baal, my hdin takes next to NO damage from baal (he has very stacked res) and my sorc, with the still listed 75, seems to take alot more from them. idk :/ i guess ill do some testing.

well hdin happens to have hell lot more deff/dr/life to fend that dmg of.. and if ure sorc isnt maxblock build its even more harder.. so that aint very good comparison.. ye and stacked resi only works vs anyabug, coldmastery, conviction and - ress from facets..

i already know all the stuff bout cold mastery/convict/anya bug

just wanted to know if it does the same dmg

so it does the same dmg right? this is 100% true?

Yes it's the same damage. Pubs think that stacking with sorb will make you sorb even more.

If I throw on a 120 light res shield vs a light sin the sin does less dmg than with my normal shield. I have 75% res with both shields. I do beleive "stacking" res will help you take less dmg.

ive tested it. if anya bug isnt coming into play and they have no sources of -enemy res, having more res above 75 without changing your max resist wont decrease the dmg. its hard to test with a trapper since they have such a wide range of damage. 1-1000 or so.

So basically, if i have max res in hell, anya bug isnt coming into play and they have no sources of -enemy res, an fber will do the same dmg to me in all difficulties?
