Resists should cap at 255

I have lots of quotes but the best evidence here is http://innoruukguildalliance.yuku.co...e#.UiJ4xuW9E9Y, which is an actual raid guide from the Kunark era.



Nirgon claims that he talked to a dev who said it was a bit more complicated (252 cap for L60 with strange effects) but I would be pretty satisfied with a straight 255 cap.

I don't have as much evidence for this one, but I also think the level adjustment for PCs is way off. With 255 PR (105 effective) a L60 should still be resisting maybe 50% of Trakanon's AOEs. What this means is that ordinary trash mobs are landing way way way too many spells.
I've been saying this for two years. Finally someone else posts about it. I used to roll with 240-250 MR, FR, or DR (depending on which VP dragon it was) on live during Kunark, and I would almost always resist their AE's. The problem was going over 255 which caused your resist checks to bug making them mostly ineffective.

I'd be happy to even see a 75% resist chance at 255, with a much lower resist chance if you go over the "cap".
