Spell Penetration. resitances cumulative?

[redderz1]

Sorry searched these forums and the threads I found just confused the issue for me. Some suggest that 200 is roughly the max spell pen you would need.

MOTW = 97 Magical resistance.

Shadow Prot = 195 Shadow resist.

Add on to that mage armours etc. Surely the number is going to be up above 300, or am i missunderstanding?

Playing as shadowpriest BTW

Thanks

you need ~240 spell penetration to be capped. pally aura (195) and mage armor (45) are the only buffs that are stacking, so getting the spell penetration cloak+cloak enchant is enough to be fully capped

They do stack, but still, the overall cap is 195. You can buy the spellpen cloak/neck for 201 spell pen and toss in 1 blue spell pen gem if you want to be capped against a Mage running with a Paladin.
