resists on rain spells

[williestargell]

I saw you increased resistance to rain spells in recent patch. first time i've used them since. current result...rain totally useless.

level 54 druid casting blizzard on "an alligator"...green con...cazic thule

two mobs in rain so i get 2 waves on each of the two mobs.

first cast

resist
resist
resist
hit

2nd cast
resist
resist
resist
resist

green mobs....

thinking you went way too far on this one.

yes waves are incredibly mana efficient if all the waves hit and therefore resists were slightly higher on live. but come on. please look into this. important spell for druids.

I agree those resists seem to be a bit much, however that is not enough data to really say anything is wrong, that could have been some unlucky rolls.

Do more tests and post the data here.

Reguardless, If you meet anyone that played a mage or wizard or druid on live during 1999-2001 and they tell you they had rain spells memed as a normal set-up, they are full of it. Rain spells were useless on live. They simply had so many resists that they were never mana efficiant enough to justify using.
