There are ways around this, of course (Conjuration spells, for one) but that limits options. A non-caster with the appropriate weapon to cut through DR just doesn't need to worry (unless they get disarmed or their weapon is sundered).Blaster mages also have to deal with elemental resistance.Werewolf DR is basically super-fast regeneration. Perhaps magic does "aggravated damage" to them. (In 4e, they simply have regeneration, although that could be because resistance to nonenergy damage is much rarer in 4e.)Certain creatures (eg fiends) have the best of both worlds - DR, but also SR and elemental resistance. Many higher-level fiends can only be killed by holy silver or holy cold iron weapons, which means even a cleric using Divine Smite cannot kill a pit fiend. You must have a holy weapon. It's a bit easier if you're a paladin, since they have the Holy Sword spell, but a cleric could cast the appropriate spell on a fighter's weapon to do the same thing. In this instance, the noncasters are making out like bandits.</blockquote>
