Here's my question about damage reduction...
The Arreat Summit site shows that the "ber" rune gives the property "damage reduced by 8%" when it is socketed into helms/armor/shields. In my experience of the game, I have seen at least: 3-socketed helms, 4-socketed armors, and 4-socketed shields. There might be better one's than that. Anyway, if you had 11 "ber" runes and socketed those items, you would have 8%*11= 88% damage reduction.
I've briefly scanned the site for an explanation as to how much damage reduction you can attain, assuming it's capped at like 50% or something. I found no such thing.
We've all seen rings that say "damage reduced by 1" or "magic damage reduced by 1". This makes me assume that damage reduction refers to physical attacks only. Therefore, magic damage would refer to magic and elemental attacks.
If it's true that you can attain this 88% damage reduction, then I suppose your other items might be a "Lawbringer" mace for the high salvation aura and gloves/boots/rings/ammy/charms with elemental resists to achieve at least 75% resist to all. Now the only thing that would really hurt you would be pure magic damage (like snake bone spears, for example). Only question would be how do I kill anything. Well, if you're a caster and some of these items have +1 skills, I would think it might work.
Tell me if I made a mistake here, aside the one about thinking I might have 11 "ber"s one day
