Partial-resist and spell-miss tooltip calculations.
Resist Forever explains how a character's or pet's magical resistance might affect direct spell damage. Hover Fire, Nature, Frost, Shadow or Arcane resistance in the character/pet panel to see the chance of each 10% damage-resisted outcome, together with base spell miss against an attacker of a given level.
It extends the existing Blizzard tooltip instead of replacing it, so the game's original resistance information stays visible.
