Red99 Idiot's PVP Questions Thread
 

I'm sure I'm not the only one with the following lingering questions as I decide between Wizard, SK or Enchanter...I've got a few hours played on P99, haven't REALLY played EQ since 03/04 on Tallon Zek and these are the questions I don't think we have answers on:

1- What will be the pumice situation? Recharging egg shaped pumices? What kind of pumice will be avail?

2- Melee damage? Full damage most of the time? All of the time?

3- Resists... way too many questions so any info would be great, specifically MR related.

4- Pet melee damage and run speed? I wouldn't think run speed would be an issue but so many different servers have differing speeds for pets...

5- Melee HIT BOX - make it BIGGER than blue 99 IMO...

6- Charmable Pets? Can we charm a pet class player's pet? Since we can't charm players, this is a "must have" IMO.

7- Wizard nuking is going to hit players as it would on mobs?

most of these questions are still unanswered. We will find out in BETA...

Hopefully Today through the next couple weeks.

Beta confirmed today maybe tomorrow.

Today might be the Beta? NICE! That said, I can't remember where to go buy Pumice of any kind...

1) Pretty sure he mentioned no egg shaped instant dispell pumice. Gonna be the few second cast time one. If Egg shaped is in, game is fkin broken now that everyone knows about them.
2)Seen full damage thrown around since melee damage is pretty craptastic on P99.
3)Resist is no idea, gotta wait for beta. General public seems to want 100 near immunity 75% resist rate, 150 immune 90% resist rate.
4)Prob full runspeed and melee since pet damage is also reduced on P99.
5)No idea, hope its bigger.
6)No idea. Most recent boxes make pets poof as a medium.
7)Think 80% pvp damage or so was classic. Again though no one knows for sure.

Most cities have a vender somewhere, its on p99 wiki. Look up Pumice.

Definitely going to need a larger melee hit box. P99 hitbox is ridiculous.

It'll be heart freakin breakin for the melees if we're hitting for 12 damage half the time during a level 20 fight.

150 immunity? Hardly classic IMO. I ran around TZ with 255 MR as an enchanter and was still dispelling shit off of me occasionally. (and yes, I didn't have any mana to kill anyone, i was just mostly immune at 255).

100 MR for near immunity is completely retarded IMO, thats really what the people want? I'll be an SK for sure if this happens.

100 MR for near immunity and 150 for immunity means the way to win the game in 1vs1 casual play is to alt-Enchanter for jewelcraft, arm your SK and lay waste around level 40 to everything...

Stuns (whirl), roots should be like this. All or nothing magic based spells like enchanter and wiz DD (force line, Jiva) were a little different still. Then there was plain old roll the dice magic damage (lightning shock 39 wiz etc). There's nigh immunity to the roots/stuns and all or nothing magics, then there's the consideration of partially resist magic damage. It is very possible to get it right and even more possible to get it close. 150 resist all shouldn't make you immune to all spells :P.

Yeah I don't know wtf he was talking about. I would imagine even if you have 1,000,000 resists there needs to be a chance even if .01 of you getting rooted etc.
