It would take 300 pierce to those elements to get him to -100 resistance and 100+ to even do damage to him. Note that Mappos fire resist appears to be higher than 200 as my fire trapsin with lk boots, (-10-15) 2 tricksters, (-30) and azmo armor (-75) couldnt do damage to him.
I think monsters resists go lower than -100, but I'm not 100% on that. I think it's -200. Also I'm pretty sure mappo has 250 physical resist. Just get as much pierce as you can, and your damage will be all around more effective.
