I think you need to reread the previous post again, because you're still not seeing that +15% all max resists correctly.
Let's say I have a glass with markings up the side. Let's further say this glass has markings up to 75 milliliters, and is filled with water up to the 73 mL mark. Now, if I take this glass and pour the contents into a larger glass with markings up to 90 mL, should I have 73 or 88 mL? 73, right? Because the amount of water hasn't changed, just the size of the glass holding it. If I then add 15 mL, I should have 88 mL.
Resistances work the same way. +Resist maximum modifiers don't give you more water, they just change the size of the glass. Only if the item also says +resist, do you get more water. Examples include the Jade Tan Do kris and Darkglow ring mail, along with the full set bonuses from Iratha's Finery.
