Resistance to X effects and stacking

[omgFIREBALLS]

The Mountain Dwarf racial is resistance to constitution afflictions. So is the Iron Gut talent. While neither lists values, am I right to assume that if I were to combine them, I could stare at a pretty (Suppressed) among my effects for the rest of the game?

They doesn't stack.

Figured. Welp, someone just freed up a lot of ability points. Cheers.

I think the resistances to a single type of afflictions just downgrade their tier by 1, no matter what defenses you have. While the others work like the ones from PoE when a bonus is added to your defenses when you face those afflictions. I suppose for a character with low-medium defenses the first type is better, while for characters with high defenses the second type is more interesting because it can help resist the afflictions completely...

Yeah, I didn't understand what resistance meant. I thought it was just a saving throw bonus they were being needlessly secretive about specifying the value of in the tooltip.
