Affordable options for getting 325% resists?
I've been trying to come up with some good but mid-game affordable options for cranking up the resists on a summoner to the point where a summoner can still be assured full resists in the face of a maxed conviction aura. Here's what I'm looking at.
Um'd Nightwing's Veil 65% all (not easy to find but tradeable, I think - Uber Trio may have cranked up the value of this item)
Wizard Spike 75% all
Homonculus with P-Diamond 59% all
Um'd Vipermagi 45-50% all
That's 244-249 right there. Still around 76-80% to go. This is easily done with charms and magic/rare boots, belts, and gloves in my experience and you can prebuff minions with good gear while still having space for a +2 all necro amulet to keep your skills decent for the big fight. This will leave you with +5 to all and +7 for curses not counting any skillers you might have. The expensive part will be getting your hands on a Wisp Projector with 13% or higher absorb. This will make you lightning immune. A Dwarf Star is much more easily found and traded and will grant fire immunity. I don't worry as much about cold because minions can block those attacks. Poison may be an issue but antidotes can handle that.
I think I'm being a bit optimistic on Nightwing's Veil being affordable at midgame. It's value has probably gone up considerably now that the Uber Trio are one of the build viability goals. Still, Circlets with resist all up to 30 are possible and magic ones can have two sockets if you get lucky on a larzuk. A rare circlet with +2 all necro and the resists would probably be more ideal, however.

But yeah after a 2-4 weeks I expect to be able to get a lot of this stuff.
