All these damages are higher than the previous list.  It's only with damages above 200 or so that the -35% of Stormshield does more than a -36 shield.  Now, this would be the case for a lot of bosses and monsters under the influence of auras and such, and the Stormshield would thus probably be a better overall choice.  But I think the point was a highly-specialized set of equipment for having really high DR against normal monsters.

lets take a look at the orriginal premise.

Is it 1.10 hell viable was asked up there.
It isn't really being adressed.

Once you in hell, wouldn't the dammage be high enough to make the 50% that is the max, more then the minimum you would have to give up in -dr reduced to get it?
