It seems like spell save does little for me
spell save only helps you resist the application of magical debuffs of which there are like 3 relevant ones (so dont invest in it)

I just get melted by spell casters unless I can destroy them very very quickly.
yeah thats the right way to do it. just make sure you dont rush out into like a room of 30 spellcasters, let them come around the corner first

Do you guys buy specific resist gear for each dungeon?
some dungeons, people will encourage you to swap, imo its pretty pointless but if youre getting hammered hard its always nice to keep your options open

If you're a non magic user is it worth it to go in to the anti magic tree?
antimagic cuts you out of a couple of gear options, but it has been made noticeably less bad in recent updates. if you don't mind cheesing the willpower reqs, it can be a good investment (though antimagic shield is kinda bad without high willpower).

My problem seems to be that if I play high damage classes I get pinged every now and again for the majority of my health and then have a status effect that makes me unable to do anything unless I take a turn to remove the side effect. If I'm not dead by this point I'm probably win.
you probably need more +max hp gear or more resists, in tome, defense >>>>>>>>>> offense. also, status effects are the real killers in the game, things such as stun will cripple your damage output and make it hard for you to run. try using movement infusions or physical wild infusions. you can check what type the status effect is by hovering over it.

If I play a high defense class I still get pinged down but not quite as bad but still end up getting two to three shot even with decent wilds (15% or more), regens, and shields being used.
high defense usually translates to: "has a lot of armor," and armor does jack shit against casters. focus more on resists or just play smarter, I.E. making sure only to engage one caster at a time

The biggest problem areas for me are the cryo/pyro entrances and exits, The Master, the guy creating the lightning in Derth, and rare mobs that cast spells. I just melt, even if I dominate the content otherwise.
post your character, your build/gear/inscriptions might be worse than you realize. also movement infusions turbofuck Urkis
