+X% to Maximum Fire ResistSame against players
Maximum Fire Resist raises the cap on your Fire Resist. The cap is 75% for every character; each point of this stat lifts it by one, up to an absolute ceiling of 95%.
It only helps if you already have enough fire resist to reach the new cap. At 75% cap and 60% fire resist, +10% maximum does nothing; you still stand at 60%.
The difficulty penalty comes off before the cap: in Hell you need +195% fire resist from all sources to stand at 95%.
Hellcast and The Tannr Gorerod give +15%; the Paladin's Resist Fire aura also raises it. See also Maximum Cold Resist, Maximum Lightning Resist and Maximum Poison Resist.

Source: itemstatcost.txt (maxfireresist) and properties.txt over the property codes of the game's item tables, the runeword lines and skills.txt (build 3.3.93847). Magic affixes are the ones that can spawn; a runeword's line includes what its runes add in that slot. “LoD 1.14d” is the value in classic Diablo II's last patch where it differs (uniques, set items, runewords' own bonuses, runes and gems; from blizzhackers/d2data); a D2R chip marks what 1.14d did not have. “Strongest” ranks items by the top of their roll range. · Report incorrect data
