Actually, DR% stacking is better than AP% stacking, it's just harder to obtain large amounts of DR% depending on build as fewer trees offer DR%, but it is possible and it is just as annoying if not worse than AP% stacking.
If you have 80% DR for example, you're only going to be taking 20% of any incoming damage, big or small, 100? Becomes 20. 1000 becomes 200, ect.
AP% stacking is relevant to base power, DR% is not just relevant to base vitality but also total vitality. If anything DR% in larger numbers is even more oppressive than AP%, since DR% affects your total health pool; go full vitality enchants and Nyeshk armour, maybe sprinkle on some health regeneration and you'll be very hard to put down.
You can hit 28% base DR with 204 mana and Drakanite Aura (10% DR), or 30% base DR with Earth Aura (12% DR), combine this with a shield for 40% DR and Holy AoEs and you'll be horribly tanky and reduce the effectiveness of anyone solely based around AP% stacking by a huge margin.
