I'm currently researching the various ways to reach max fire resist. I'm a pure gunner and have decided to try for a UV fire resist Magic Hood to later turn into a Grey Feather Cowl.
What UV level do I need for Maximum on this item? It has 3 bars of fire resist on it. So I thought High UV would be maximum, but I noticed a fully filled resist bar only has 5 segments.
Also, as a gunner, is there a better way to max fire and eventually shock? Current equipment goal is UV Fire Resist Grey Feather Cowl, UV Shock Nameless Sash, 2x Tetra Heart, Grey Owlite Shield. I could also do Maximum Fire/Shock nameless set, but I need to be realistic =P
Or am I aiming at the wrong gear/resist combination for T3?
Thanks!

To answer your question, no. High + Max doesn't fill the status bar completely. That status bar is capped at the end so once it is filled anything more than that is the most you can get. To fully fill the bar you'll need to get two maximum UVs or combine it with an item that has the equivalent amount. On the right of the picture you can see the natural fire resist from volc demo suit compared to a max UV. On the left you can see a high shock UV and what it totals out to when combined with max. The center picture has full set of volc demo (equivalent to two max uvs combining) which fully fills the bar.
It won't be possible to get full shock/fire resist with nameless set but having a piece with max shock and a piece with max fire should be enough. I run FSC with only 2 bars of fire resist when I split volc demo + mad bomber.
