Nexona's AoE has a huge negative modifier. We did not create this, it is a known value from classic.

Resists were never 100% even without mods, which is not saying the resists are worthless, they help against most spells, but they did not make you immune. There are many AoE's with huge negative resist checks in Kunark and Velious. This is not even remotely debatable, you can load the trilogy client and look at the spell file. We did not make these values up, this is how it was. The only thing we can debate is the impact of resists in general, using unmodified AoEs.

As far as the white wurms, I'm removing the AoE since we are skipping the original changes. There is very little information to go on and many feel having ToV easily clearable the first few weeks would damage the server more than just skipping to the adjustments made right after release.
