Up to a 30% chance to fully resist a pure nuke would be ruinous to PvP, as it effectively makes any character with max resist simply immune to at least 1/3 of all spells that save versus that resist.
this is essentially the same thing as saying that i should not ever flat out miss a melee attack unless my target is at an AC cap
