hi I'm a level 50 sorcerer and a while ago I had socketed a jewel that gives +12% resist for all schools. It showed up in my stats on the second line under resist and it doesn't even work! Is that second line for like pvp or something because I'm a bit confused. Can someone please explain it to me?

Most all of the damage resist jewels are a flat amount like the Prof said. In your case, if you get hit with a spell that does 50 damage, your jewel will shave 12 damage right off the top so you'll only take 38. An attack that does 1000 damage would also only be resisted by 12 meaning you'd take 988 damage. The higher the damage the less effective the jewel will be because it will always only resist 12 damage. With a percentage resistance, the amount resisted would increase as the damage increases. At 50 damage a 12% resist jewel would only resist 6... but at 1000 damage it would resist 120. A jewel that gives a 12% resist for all schools would be worth a fortune!
