well consider the 255 resist cap we now have in place
your character approaches an NPC that has 100 resistance to magic.
In the old resist cap world, 100 resistance to magic is not really that much as resists could go upwards to 400+
However now that same NPC that has 100 resistance to magic suddenly has a much stronger base resist in the 255 cap world.
100/255 >>>>>> resist ability than 100/500
thats my uninformed un-developer un-coder logic at play
no idea if im off base or not
