I know exactly what you mean!! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I played a barbarian with 20% physical resistance, and dualled DOE an off hand weapon with Crom Faeyr. The description of this weapon is a little incorrect though. It does grant an +20% resistance to physical damage, but it's actually a +3 weapon, not +2 as it states. It even says "Defender of Easthaven +2", and then immediately below in the description, "Defender of Easthaven +3". It also states that it does 1D6+2 damage, which is also wrong, since a standard flail does 1D6+1, and this is +3 flail, therefore it deals 1D6+4 damage which is much better! I checked these values using IEEP.

Your immunity calculations for the ranger/paladin are correct but i'm not sure about the barbarians. Where does the 45% come from? (i'm assuming the 20% is from the weapon and the 40% is from hardiness?) Barbarians get 10% at 11th level and an additional 5% at level 15 and 19 IIRC, giving them a maximum of 20%, so their total resistance would be 20+20 = 40 permament and 80 when using hardiness which still rocks.

Also, don't ingore the helmet Ronarchs Horn (SP?) found on Gromnirs body, granting 50% resistance to crushing damage would give a permanent resistance of 90%!! to crushing damage in the barbarians case, increasing to the 127% maximum when using hardiness. Don't bother upgrading the staff of the ram with this, wear it instead, especially since you'll be dualling with the cool defender of easthaven.

Try it, your barbarian will rock!
