	Could someone explain the changes to spell resistance for me (or point me in the direction of the changes)? The old system scaled 1-20, wasn't stacking, and while it was pretty much essential to the lower levels, somewhere around levels 12-14, it became worthless. I have no idea the range of the new system or if it stacks, how long it's good for - or if it's good at all. My old belt of SR was 17. I crafted a new one (min level 1) and it says +4. I don't know if that's better, or even more worthless than it was before. Also, which is better? SR or MRR? Which number should I be more concerned about? Roughly what numbers do I want for each at levels 5/10/15?

	mrr is damage reduction against spell damage, ala prr Spell resistance is ignoring a spell unless the caster beats your Sr number. This is going to get better for certain races in U36. Ddowiki has a good explanation of both:

	There are some goofy fuck-ups in how SR stacks. SSG says they're going to fix some of them. Except for gear, almost none of the sources identify whether they're normal, insightful, or something else. Typical Turbine thoroughness....

	Cannith craft it. Mob caster levels are a bit of a crap shoot, but with 19+9 at level 10 and 25+12 at 15 you will be effectively immune to magic that rolls against it. You can also get 12 at level 5, but that's probably not worth it. Regular and insightful can both craft onto a cloak.

Devs will have to change sr stacking or draw will just become immune to magic that has SR checks

	U36 is supposed to fix the racial and monk SR values to stack. There may also be a nerf to Equipment based bonuses as just making it the �Enhancement� bonus and calling it good was too much work. But, currently, you can UMD yourself to SR victory in heroics. A level 14 Artificer with Whirling Words and a Mass SR scroll can have a 41 SR. Also, the Heroic Drow Outrunner armor is well worth taking a look at.

	I have a swashbuckler at 17, she's using that quality SR light armor from search and rescue, along with enhancement and insightful SR from random items. She's at 44 standing IIRC. Someone cast SR,mass on me and apparently something stacks, SR went up to 49.

	SR items are very nice. Makes the racial SR useless.

I haven't bothered building for SR in a long time. If you need SR, you're killing too slow and/or lacking proper CC.

	But if you can get it very easily with the proposed changes it will be great

	So lets say i make a human cheesy barb for shits and giggles. what are good numbers on SR? currently i could get: 79 from rng belt 9 from serenity 14 from the drow armor _____ 102 Is that enough to devout the armor slot and a tier 2 twist for that? or even at 100 it will suck?

I don't know what the new max CR is in the new raid, but mob caster level should never be over their CR if you want to measure in game. The Black Abbot's caster level and and CR are both 59 for example.
