Maximum Damage Resistance is the percentage limit on how much incoming damage Damage Resistance can remove from a hit. It works alongside the numeric Damage Resistance value: the game applies no more than the permitted percentage reduction, even when the character has enough Damage Resistance to subtract a larger number.
For example, 25 Damage Resistance with a 50% maximum can remove all 25 points from a 400-point hit, but only 20 points from a 40-point hit because half of 40 is 20.
The Physical Resistance Potion of the Obsidians records +10% Maximum Damage Resistance and +20 Damage Resistance for 120 seconds, balanced by -20 Magic Resistance. The potion was introduced as temporary physical protection at the expense of resistance to magic.[1]

Terminology history
The percentage cap was formerly called Damage Absorption. Release 28 retired that term and presented absorption as a component of Damage Resistance instead.[2] Some later notes still used the older wording; Release 53, for example, described Damage Absorption as “the cap to how much damage resistance can be applied in a hit.”[3]
Verification needed
- Confirm the current calculation and terminology in the client.
- Determine which physical and magical damage types are governed by this limit.
- Record how multiple bonuses stack and whether a global cap applies.
- Confirm the potion's current values, duration, restrictions, and interaction with other resistance effects.
