The issue is definitely more the slow than the fear. I remember in my junk kunark gear being feared by Klandicar at times, but here[B] i was able to resist a lot of the fears with 190 unbuffed + gmr + bards[/B]. Seems in line.
The real issue is the fact that on live slowing these mobs was not that big of an issue. You dropped your tash, unresistable malo, normal malo and maybe an occlusion and slow hit. The process usually took less than 20 seconds. Here we debuff and spam slows for a minute straight before were eventually slaughtered.

Thread full of info about slowing Kland. Never is it eluded to that its at all hard once he is properly debuffed.

Yea so, you do realize that resists in Velious were capped at 255? You're talking over 450 in resists there. *Not Classic*
Level change may have made it more resistable (if it went in), but it was a fluke to resist it with 420ish MR two weeks ago.
I'm still not getting why people are saying - I resisted it some with 300/400 or ANYTHING OVER 255 - and thinking this is balanced like classic at all - because it's not.
200 in resists - you can see this ALL OVER classic posts, from HoT mobs to dragons, was considered what was necessary to be safe in 2001/2002. Everyone and their brother gets well over 200 easily on this server because we've had 5 years of farming to make resist sets commonplace, but the resists on p99 are just not in line with classic raiding on yellow cons and are steadily worse as mob level goes 63+.
You cannot resist was what resistable on live with 200 when you have 300/400/500 in resists on p99. The resist system just fundamentally breaks down starting around 60 and up. Nex in VP has the same AE as a warder in ST - we got to experience how fun resisting that was when the mob casting it is even higher level (read, you don't resist it even with a bard). Klandicar is another great example, so is Sontalak, and any wide variety of mobs with AE's in Velious. Kland/Sont are just particularly noteworthy examples because their AE's are outdoors, but the base problem is still there - resists on p99 aren't classic and it's going to be very difficult to do certain Velious mobs without a resist system that is closer to the intended difficulty levels.
