But it isn't obvious. With 0 resilience, you take 35% of the targets damage dealt due to base resilience. If you get 1.7% more resilience, it doesn't translate into 1.7% less damage taken. At that point, you'll take 33.3% of the original damage. There you get 33.3%/35% equals roughly 0.95 meaning the you'll take 5% less damage with resilience gems.
Now I don't know how much stamina are you getting but I just wanted to point that it's not that straight forward. With maximum possible resilience, you'd take ~11% less damage than everyone else. You can read more here,
