You factoring in Difficulty penalties? Nightmare and Hell Difficulty apply a 40 Resistance and 100 Resistance penalty respectively. Meaning if you have 200 Resistance, it’s only 100 Resistance on Hell, leaving yo with 25 surplus Resistance. If you want to ensure you have enough to over come Lower Resist, Conviction or both, you’ll need to get more. However, Cleansing Aura does wonders against Lower Resist by removing it relatively quickly. Conviction is a bit harder since there’s only two ways to avoid it. First way is generating a Conviction Aura of your own that overpowers it. Uber Mephisto has a level 20 Conviction Aura, but if you face him with a Level 21 or greater Conviction, then his Aura will not affect you since yours overpowers his. The alternative is to kill the source or stay out of range until the source dies, which isn’t as easy. Since a level 21+ Conviction can only be generated by a Paladin, you’re out of luck as a Sorceress when facing Ubers. Normal Unique Monsters though typically don’t have that high of a Conviction since it caps at level 12(Monster Level / 8). If you self-wield Infinity, then only Aura Enchanted Unique Monsters of level 96 or higher will affect you.
