PoE Earthshatter builds

Hi, I'm toying around in pob to improve defense vs elemental damage but there is a thing I don't understand. Let's assume I have 80% all elemental resistance. And I can take a maximum hit of lightning damage with 50 000 (maximum hit taken in pob). When I activate Xibaqua in Pob and still have 80% all elemental resistance and 80% chaos resistance. Xibaqua let me take 50% of elemental damage as chaos damage. Why does this double my maximum hit taken to 100 000?

This is my league starter and the first build I've posted here. I see several threads on here about Earthbreaker totems, and wanted to share my theorycraft. This build plays like reverse Bladefall/Bladeblast, but a little slower. My gearing needs some upgrades (6-link, +1 totem shield, and clusters) but I've managed this on about a 3ex
