3 failed screaming terrors and 2 failed feign deaths. It's lke a 10% chance of any of these things happening but 5 in a fucking row(on a lowish blue)? Sometimes i wonder why I bother with this game.

I'm 100% convinced screaming terror has a charisma component to it, but it's not supposed to. I've never seeen a root resisted more than once on a blue and I used it 10 times more than sceaming terror.

Why not test it and confirm if it does or doesn’t? Get good

P99's random number generator has always been streak-prone. That's what got you. Happens to everyone from time to time. Couple days ago the wife had 22 slow resists in a row (we counted) against a blue-con monster that was already malo'd. It happens.

250 mana per slow * 22 = 5500 mana

hmm

She was using drowsy. That's like 500 mana total.

ST and every other classes mez should have a secondary check on cha unsure if that's implemented here though.

Wife ran out of mana, she had to canni/torpor it back up while I kited big bob around. Only reason we even tried was because I still had SOW on and could manage it (Shadow Knight, so ranged aggro is no problem), otherwise we would've had to cap out. As it was we had to cap anyway when we got adds due to the lengthy delay. That's exceptional, and normally slow on the same things lands within half a dozen attempts or so, but streaks like that happen (for good or for bad) sometimes.

I remember when they changed resists and green mobs were resisting every 3rd spell

Working as intended

Eh? 1 failed FD = 5 resisted/failed FD/STs?

Learn to count, son.

And why stand there if you landed darkness and have either jboots or SoW up?

I think its server tic based, assigning you a new RNG modifier every tic.

Ouch, bad luck. I've had my gate spell collapse, or whatever the message is, 3 times in a row. But I was just in the tunnel, so it was only annoying rather than life-threatening.

Can confirm -- Master gater here (huhu) 235 alteration, fully specialized 200 alteration -- still fails only when inconvenient or I'm on the run from something that wants to tear my ass.

On a unrelated to necro luck note.... I know I hate wizards... but my wizard seems to be the unluckiest retard wizard ever.... I have NEVER EVER had as many gate collapses on all of my other casters than on my wizard.... I have even had gate collapse 3, THREE TIMES IN A ROW on my wizard, its like hes a port class, but hes teleport retarded
