[[File:All-res-1.jpg|thumb|350px|Natalya's Boots offer All Res.]]All Resistance (AKA All Res, Res All, AR or RA) is an item [[affix]] in Diablo 3. One of the most valuable, useful, and popular affixes in the game, this one increases the [[resistance]] to all types of damage; physical, cold, fire, poison, lightning, and arcane, by up to 80 points.

All Res can spawn Resistances in Diablo 3 are not expressed as a random affix on every type of armor: helms, shoulders, bracers, chest armor, pants, belts, and boots, along with rings, amuletspercentages, as they were in Diablo 1 and shieldsDiablo 2. It can not be found as a random modifier on weapons or non-shield off-hand items ([quivers]]They are instead cumulative values, [[sources]]much like Armor, or where more of the stat provides [[mojosdamage mitigation]]of some percentage that varies depending on the level of the character, though it appears as an inherent mod on a few legendary weapons such as the [[Empyrean Messenger]]enemy, and other factors.

Besides spawning The [[Toughness]] stat, added in the random slot[[D3v2]], incorporates All Res is an inherent property on many of the best and other defensive properties (such as [[end gamearmor]] legendary items in the game, appearing at +71-80 values on items such as Natalya's Boots, Ice Climbers, Vile Ward, Mempo of Twilight, Immortal King's boots and belt, Zunimasa's boots[[hit points]]) into one number, for easier reference and many otherscomprehension. These items can not spawn with a double Many players feel that All Resis undervalued by Toughness, from the inherent mod and a random onethat it provides much more benefit than bonuses to Armor, but items in [[Diablo 3 Vanilla]] can spawn with All Res and or to a single resistance modifier, though the developers have said this will probably change in [[Loot 2.0]].It's recommended that

==* The maximum All Res Future Plans==per item affix in Diablo 3 vanilla was 80 points.* The maximum All Res per item affix rises to 100 on legendary items in [[Loot 2.0]] and [[Reaper of Souls]]. * All Res can also be added via Paragon Points spent in the [[Defense Tab]], where each point gains 5, up to a maximum of 250 from 50 [[Paragon Points]].* 10 points of Intelligence adds 1 point of All Res. Thus an item that adds 500 INT is worth 50 All Res. This provides a huge bonus to Wizards and Witch Doctors, as they get hundreds of points of "free" All Res as a side effect of their [[mainstat]] increasing.** A Wizard or Witch Doctor at lvl 70 often has 8000 Mainstat, worth 800 All Res. Thus Wizards and Witch Doctors can easily exceed 1500 All Res with decent gear, while other classes must struggle to reach 1000.

==Obtaining All Res== All Res can spawn as a random affix on every type of armor::helms, shoulders, bracers, chest armor, pants, belts, and boots, along with rings, amulets, and shields. (It is an inherent property on many of the best legendary armor pieces in the game.) All Res can not be found as a '''''random''''' modifier on weapons or non-shield [[off-hand]] items ([quivers]], [[sources]], or [[Wyatt Chengmojos]]: Let me comment , though it appears as an inherent property on a few legendary items in those [[One With Everythingslots]] , such as the [[Monk PassiveEmpyrean Messenger]]. I think the most likely —  Items in Diablo 3 Vanilla could spawn with All Res and I’m definitely a bonus to a single resistance. This is not committing possible on Loot 2.0 items in Diablo 3 or Reaper of Souls, aside from a few legendary items with inherent bonuses to this resistance. Other than those few exceptions, items in the game today spawn with All Res (as a final plan — [[primary affix]]) or a single resistance (as a [[secondary affix]]), but never both on the most likely solution same item.  ==All Res Strategy== There is no minimum or maximum recommended value for All Res. More points in resistance grant more damage mitigation to try that type of elemental attack, and get a new set of while some elements are more valuable than others, Diablo 3 varies the attack types enough that it avoids the system seen in Diablo 2, where resistance packages into to Lightning was by far the game most important and Cold and Poison resistance hardly mattered at all. All Res shows diminishing returns in the futurehigher values, with more and more points required to achieve substantial returns. That’s pretty far down A character who raises their resistance from 200 to 400 will see a much larger absolute benefit than a character who raises their resistance from 800 to 1000. At the higher end though, every point matters since enemies on the line probablyhigher [[difficulty]] levels do such huge amounts of damage. It’s part  As a general guideline, melee characters need more resistance than ranged attackers, since melee fighters can not move out of the path of [[Molten]], [[Arcane]], [Loot 2[Plagued]], etc, so easily.0|itemization changes[[Hardcore]]characters will generally want more resistance than Normal characters. Resistances required for survival increase with the difficulty level. On Hard difficulty, 500 All Res is plenty, but to survive in Torment most players want considerably more.

::When the higher single res values roll out with the itemization changes, you will no longer see single resistances on the same item with all res. And OWE will still be a big benefit, but it won’t be as huge as it can be now. So to use some numbers, say that ==All Res goes up to 80 on an item, in the future single res will go up to 100 or 115. But you’ll never get both on the same item.Development==

Fans have been suggesting ::[[Wyatt Cheng]]: Let me comment on [[One With Everything]] the [[Monk Passive]]. I think the most likely — and I’m definitely not committing to this as a hard cap for maximum resistances since shortly after Diablo 3's release, when it became obvious that more All Res was always final plan — the best modifier on any piece most likely solution is to try and get a new set of armorresistance packages into the game in the future. While datamining has revealed some planned hardcaps for offensive statsThat’s pretty far down the line probably. It’s part of the [http://diablo[Loot 2.incgamers.com/blog/comments/datamined-reaper-of-souls-info-affix-hardcaps0|itemization changes]] in Reaper of Souls, no hardcap to All Res has yet been detected.

An ==All Res hardcap at say 500 or 600 would limit a rich player's ability to mitigate elemental damage down to almost nothing, and would promote gear diversity since players would get X amount of resistance, but then not seek more since it would do no good above the hardcap.Hard Cap?==

That Another topic of debate during Diablo 3 vanilla was how resistances (and many other useful affixes) were handled in a [[hard cap]] for All Res. Diablo 1 and Diablo II. In those games resistances worked on a % basis2 had these, and in Diablo 2 the hardcap was set at with 75% resistance. That number the most possible, though some unique items could be raised raise the potential max resistance higher by a few uniques than that had +maximum resistance properties. This limited the utility of All Res gear, and a higher number than 75% since there was only so much that was useful when facing an enemy with a big resistance debuff ability, but for and beyond that the most part, players in the previous benefit was wasted. (Though some Diablo games valued items with II bosses and PvP skills could lower resistance, but with the hardcap on resistances making it never felt like gear had useful to have All Res or it was junkstack higher than 75%.)

If Though the Diablo 3 developers agreediscussed hardcaps on some affixes during Reaper of Soul's development, they have not let on[http://diablo.incgamers. Their only com/blog/comments have been about raising the indiidual resistances to make them potentially higher than /datamined-reaper-of-souls-info-affix-hardcaps] All Res. Fan suggestions for resistance packs, where one affix would create two or three individual resistances with varying values seem was not to have influenced amongst them and the developersultimately ruled out hard caps for almost all affixes, including All Res.
