Resists and Melee
 

I know its a bit early for this since pretty much everyone is under leveled and/or naked but I figured I would get this post up sooner than later.

In general I am looking for opinions on how things feel or what doesn't seem to be working. Flat out bugs should still be placed into the PvP Bug Forum but general things like 'some spell lands too often' or 'some other spell doesn't last long enough' are welcome here.

Here are somethings I already know about, feel free to post about them though:

• Root and Snare seem to resist a lot on lower level players (or is it all spells?)
• Melee hitbox seems too small, making it very hard to hit moving players.

Somethings I would like to hear about, some of which is probably a little early to get good info on:

How are partials feeling?
Are dribble rates good enough?
Is anyone having trouble with 3 point shots?
And pretty much everything else...

Please...Please be sure to include any relevant info like levels of players involved, approximate stats and player names so I can hunt your ass down in game and ask more direct questions if need be.

Thanks Dregs.

hi null

Oh hi Nyrod.

yes, root and snare almost never work if you cast them on someone else, even if they con blue to you. I casted root on a naked blue con dark elf (30 mr?) and got about 1 out of 6 to land. the one that landed lasted for about 2 ticks before it faded.

however, this is absolutely not the case if you are a mage's earth pet. i have had earth pets that con LB to me root me with a single cast of their root for about 4 ticks (24 seconds or so). and i don't ever recall resisting an attempt by an earth pet to root me.

I would have posted this here but this thread wasn't up yet, but the gist is that the earth pet's root lands way too frequently even as a blue con pet.

From my experience up to level 9 as a cleric: root, flash of light and stun land very infrequently, and root breaks too quickly with damage dealt.

Resists in general seem off.

Against a blue con wizzie (lvl 18 at the time), my cleric (lvl 20 at the time) couldn't land a stun, root, or blind yesterday at all. Not once. This happened at least through 3-4 encounters. He wasn't boxing and had no one buffing his resists.

lb con shaman mob landed a huge duration blind on me, despite resisting it from PC's. idk, maybe it was a mage pet with blind, could be the case.

oh this was in pvp and the mob aggroed on me, could have been a train idk.

seriously though fix mob blind.

As a level 9 cleric, I just tried rooting/blinding a level 2. Root was resisted twice, landed once and wore off instantly, landed twice for a decent duration (15 seconds or so). Flash of light landed 2 times and was resisted 3 times. Obviously a small sample size, but a level 2 really shouldn't be able to resist any of my spells that frequently.

helpful posts so far, how about spell casts on players higher than you?

Umm, I don't think I've ever landed a spell on a higher con player, minus a few roots which wore off basically instantly. Haven't fought a ton of higher level players though.
