It adds dam res against psychic damage, and that's it AFAIK. I'm sure max or someone wil confirm.

Does adding extra damage resistance enhancements increase the actual magnitude of protection so those annoying Death Mages can't stack holds on you, or does it just cut down the duration when you -do- get held?

Neither, Like Miss_Chief says, it will just increase your psionic resist.
What are you doing for knockback protection? If you are using acrobatics then that will also give you some extra hold protection and some hold resistance - meaning the holds on you won't last so long which will make it harder for them to stack enough to break your protection.

Acrobatics is my knockback protection. It doesn't get turned off often either ;-)
However, since I'm close to 40, I'm starting to look into IO sets and was pondering some with extra mez resistance so that if I do start getting held more, it doesn't last as long.

Having mez resistance would also mean that each invidual hold effect would apply for a shorter duration of time, so it'd be harder to actually stack them to the point where you'd get held.
I'm very surprised that anything reasonable is holding you through OG + Acro. How many of what were you fighting at the same time?
Copied from my little guide, OS gives you a base 37.5% PSI res AND Mag 10.4 res to Hold, Sleep, Stun & Fear.
These last 4 are non-enhanceable. So no matter how many dmg res you slot, it will not get better.
Acrobatics gives you 100Mag res to knockback and knockup. Plus Mag2 res to holds and a 50% reduction in the duration of holds.
So runnig both, you will have to get hit by 13Mags of holds to be held and 11Mags of sleep/stun/fear.
So yes a few of death mages couple stack up enough holds to get through.
Hope this helps.
No, that's not a really weird euphemism.
My Obsidian Shield has worked well up until level 38 with just one Damage Resistance SO in it, but I'm starting to actually get Held occasionally whilst fighting CoT.
I'm a little unclear as to how it works, since I've had it turned on for a good 15 levels or so ;-)

It's been so long since I was held with this hero that I got really confused and thought lag was stopping me moving ;-)
