Question about spells

[Kristian]

I haven't played in awhile, but I literally cannot land spells on DB con other than lifetap. What's the deal? I don't remember it being like this before on P99 or on classic

Specifics. Unless you are fighting an mr mob or something this shouldn't be.

I'm fighting db con roamers in Emerald Jungle by Trak ZL. The giant flowers, mesquitos, skellies, raptors. I'm level 40 nec.

If you are fighting these plants (http://wiki.project1999.com/Erollisi_Bloodthorn) they are level 39 and that's your problem.


Blue con never means the spell will land without many resists. You need a decent level gap between you and the thing you are killing.

this is true...but the op is asserting that aside from life tap he cannot land a single spell...either he is exaggerating (likely) or there is a problem. those plants should not have a 100% resist rate on a necro one level higher than the mobs you linked.

op should post to bugs section if he isn't exaggerating.

resists are broke atmo.

have been since last patch.

developers decided to stop folks enjoying soloing.

Been soloing fine on my wiz from 20-40 since the patch. Resists aren't broken, stop bitching.

OP, pick mobs that are more than a level below you and you will see less resists.

You have become better at Everquest! (11)

You're damn right.

So 4+ resists in a row on white/1 level below you mobs that are debuffed with scent is normal? Maybe my memory is cloggy bt I sure don' remember resists being that bad in classic :(

Happens every 2-3 mobs and I end up having to fd, kill my pet, and retry it again 5 minutes later.

Isn't Clark armani?

Right, that's why you don't kill white cons. I wouldn't dream of quadding mobs that are within a level or two of me because I would get too many resists too make it worthwhile.

They were. On classic we hadn't had 10 years of post-velious EQ and other MMOs conditioning us into thinking that you should be able to kill even level mobs.

This.

Original eq was hard in that regard
