I for one also like seeing all the Golden "Max", but my mage is equiped as you said, with Thinking Cap and Naj's light Plate and Dreamflange. So his resistances are max magic, and 69% for the two others. He currently has a mana pool of 1022, so i guess the extra 6% resistance won't make much of a difference. Lightning based attacks are pretty weak and only the Advo's fireballs come close to being a threath.
Before the Jade/Brilliance, he used a 50% Emerald large shield of ages, but I'm a sucker for extra-large mana pools! :)
Also, if the Jade/Brilliance shield would have been of lower quality, e.g. 20% ra +11 magic, I would probably have kept on using my Emmy/ages, I kinda got lucky on the stats of that one!
