ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I cheated to skip the part where I died a million times levelling up this adventurer, other than that and the 8 atamathons, he can be legit
I also didn't give myself any elixirs, the heart of the sandworm queen, or the wyrmic bile, or alot of my class/generic points, or any prodigies, which, if I got them, wouldn't be cauterize or bloodspring because they'd actually make me easier to kill

the rest is in the video description, and I'm not trying to whine about true grit, actually; 100% res all from this has quite enough weaknesses as it is, such as every single orc

Really can't tell what's going on from the video. Could you provide a link to your character in the vault?

I deleted him so no
I did make sure all the information you'd need is in the video though

Clever!
I myself thought about the all resist cap with True Grit, but didnt think of using negative life to push it even further.

Love the 'darkgod sucks :>' chat comment that starts off the video, assuming it was tongue in cheek.

Now, can you get 100% resist all with just Bulwark (True grit + Last stand)?

PERHAPS True Grit should cap its bonuses at 0 life?
As in, don't give extra bonuses if you go below that through equipment, special talents(say you're an Adventurer with Blurred Mortality)and so on...

since Last Stand gives +hp in addition to a -hp buffer, I would say no because True Grit is %hp based
and @zonk, if you watched the video until the end, you wouldn't be recommending that
theres all sorts of stuff that can kill a guy with -250 hp 100% instadeath immunity and 100% res all that dies at -251 hp or 0 mana
some enemies have resistance penetration, espeically orcs who get a passive racial for res all pen; manaburn's mana reduction isn't affected by resistances, iirc
classes that can get resistances penetration with talents include, but are not limited to these:
solipsist, if you're asleep
corruptor/reaver
anorithil
archmages and necromancers
doomed
arcane blades
oozemancers
marauders
a Brawler could use body shot to drain your stamina, making true grit run out sooner
a temporal anomaly could give you a bunch of hp regen, which would make true grit give less resistances, which means you'd be susceptible to burst damage
and thats a big one, burst damage
a skeleton archer with merkul's second eye casts arcane eye on you when you get shot by them; if an enemy has an artifact with resistance penetration, then yeah
anything with spell feedback will destroy you
the boss that drops the gaping maw, and an enemy with a weapon of amnesia will destroy you as well
mind parasite will kill you
wierdling beast would destroy you if you got it in the infinite dungeon
theres probably some other stuff too
point is, even with 100% resist all theres still stuff to worry about
