good point on the elemental resists. Course Crush's tunic boosts those too
as does the elemental rhythyms I usually use. Until they cast a poison or
disease spell I usually dont use Purifying unless I know the are
necro-oriented. Dont the elemental resists start out higher than MR as
well, 35 as opposed to 25 I seem to remember offhand.

Hmm. I wish they'd change it so you could immediately see how
much damage you take from a spell. The caster gets to see how
much damage he did, why can't you see how much damage you
took?

I'm pretty sure I'm right and most DD spells check your fire
or cold resist. You can't raise those as high since the Psalm
series does not stack with Elemental or Purifying Rhythms.
Everything seems to stack with Guardian Rhythms.
