Resistances above cap for the occasional conviction, yay or nay?
I have gotten to a point where with the charms I gathered while leveling I'm around 20+ or so resistances above my Cap, hence the question:
On a PvM character not doing Ubers, is keeping some extra resistances stacked above my Cap for the occasional Conviction aura recomended or should I change some charms looking for other useful stats?

Can be used to make Runewords:
Nay. Getting items that increase the maximum cap of your resistances is one thing, but stacking extra resistances just for the rare Conviction or Lower Resist isn't necessary.

It might be worth it in hardcore - but not all off them, for instance you can make your fire res above Cap when you run Chaos sancturay to resist pit lords when they throw lower res or Conviction at you
Obvious answer: Depends.
Generally speaking, overcapping in PvM is hardly worth it to not worth it at all, simply because it is so situational. At the same time, there are certain spots where it goes from being situational to being very common so if those are on your farming route, it suddenly becomes less "mweh" of an idea.
Other than that, it really just boils down to your character build, equipment and what you're sacrificing for it. Say for example you're fully capped without using charms as is and you now have your small charm slots to fill. If you're a caster, you suddenly get to pick your prefixes between mana and...well, more mana. If you already don't have any mana issues whatsoever, that's effectively pointless (unless it allows you to reduce mana elsewhere). And then you're left with pointless mana, damn near pointless minor defense, pointless non-caster stats, completely pointless stamina or situationally useful resistances. Needless to say in that case, getting more res to overcap is actually probably quite worth it.

I have no mana issues, just adjusted and stacked life instead of extra res and still need more skillers.Schnorki wrote: 4 years agoObvious answer: Depends.

Nay on my sorceress and necromancer, I'll just have to be more careful around Conviction.
Yay on my assassin because she's built to handle Uber Mephisto anyway. Might as well put a few extra fire resistance to be Conviction immune.
