Resistance is a stat in Dark Souls.
General information[]
Increases Fire, Poison, Magic and Lightning resist as well as defenses to Regular, Strike, Slash and Thrust damage types.
As armor does a good job of increasing Fire and Poison resistance, all other stats increase Magic and Lightning resist by the same amount per point, and the defense increase is marginal (2~8) leveling up this stat is usually a waste of souls. After level 40 each level only counts as 1 point for slash strike and thrust damage each.
The only use of this stat is for unarmored builds, and even then it doesn't do much.
