Bismuth Flask should give +max all elemental resists

Quicksilvers are much better for the following reasons:

1. when you actually need resists: you are making a new character without resources (stuff like goldrim)
2. You can get a quicksilver guaranteed from medicine chest quest
3. The quicksilver you receive can be ilvl 1-4 depending on how many mobs u killed (your level). This means the mod pool you can roll from is super consistent: If you choose to be lvl 3 or lower and get flask, you can only roll two suffixes: stun recovery and resists. At lvl 4 u can also get of heat which is pretty good as well.
4. Bismuth flask is pretty much drop only. If you find one at lvl 8 your in luck cuz u can get the upgrade to quicksilver of resistances : Bismuth of adrenaline. But typically your bismuth is not exactly lvl 8 and the mod pool is even larger, if possibly rolling reflexes, iron skin, and other stuff ...

It's almost never worth alterating unless its ilvl 1-3 in new league cuz you have at least 50% chance with just a transmute to get resists

What are pros of bismuth?
1. Last longer than quicksilver by tiny bit
2. More resistances than quicksilver of resists

I guess if you happened to find and transmute a bismuth of adrenaline you can just treat it as a quicksilver flask if you were to use a quicksilver of resistances

But you would never use bismuth anyways as a lategame flask because being overcapped is just better, curse removal flask is also pretty much a staple of any character, and flask of exile has so many insanely powerful flasks right now.

Each additional % of maximum resistance is more effective than previous.

at 96% max res additional 2% max res = "100% more ehp"
at 90% max res additional 2% max res = "20% more ehp"

"reduced elemental damage taken" would be multiplicative, therefore the flask wouldn't become "broken" with stacked max resistances. And it still would be useful for any "75% max res" build.

50% is just a suggestion. it could be 33% or even 28%.
