This is something that I have been wondering, ever since my first ever and wizard got Tower Shield and Volcano Shield: if the sum of the shields go over 100%, why does the enemy spell does not do 0 damage? Here's an example:
You have a Tower Shield: -50% damage And a Volcano Shield: -70% and damage
So if an enemy uses a spell on you, the resistance would sum up to 120% resistance, without counting that of your own gear. This spell should do 0 damage but it doesn't. However, this was a long time ago and I have gotten over it, but I'd still like at least something close to an answer.
Because when it come to calculations each shield is figured by itself. for example: you have three 50% shields. The spell does 200 damage. The math goes like this: 50%of 200 is 100 for first shield. 50% of 100 is 50 for second shield. 50% of 50 is 25 for third shield. Hope that clears things up.

When they do the math on this it doesn't actually add the shields. For example, let's say the attack does 1000 damage:
1000 - 700 dmg(which is the 70%) = 300 remaining dmg 300 - 150 dmg(which is the 50%) = 150 remaining dmg and then your resist comes into play.
This is correct. The percentages multiply, not add.
For example, you have an ice shield that reduces by 80%, leaving 20%, and a tower shield that reduces 50%, leaving 50%. .20 times .5 = .1 or 10%, so any incoming ice spell is reduced 90%, not 130%.
