It would take a lot of logs and a lot of statistic combining to get definitive, but it appears as tho binary spells are exempt from the level based resists.
The first part is obviously a result of binary resists simply not being partially resistable (I know that's redundant), so isn't relivant to this at all.

Where that gets interesting is that you're implying that instead of a breakdown of 1% full resist + 4% in partial resists for a 5% total vs a 5% total for binary spells (assuming full hitcap of course) that frost spells are performing at 1% full resist while hitcapped?

Or am I reading what you're saying wrong? This is really not the way I'm remembering this working.
