Agreeing with khanable and Nirgon here.
Having to balance your resists against a 500 cap, with Velious gear, which was designed with a 255 cap, is very annoying.
In classic you would devote about half your slots to resists while the other half you got your core stats / HP/Mana up. On P99 to have any chance to resist these AEs you're having to swap nearly every single slot. If you are only switching half here and getting to 150~ unbuffed, you are getting crushed by AEs.
It puts a very unnecessary and unclassic focus on bard Resists and on resist gear in general. Bards were nice on raids cause you could put them with MTs and DPS so that they could keep stacking their HP without sacrificing much for resists.
Tl;dr - Not having a 255 cap and AEs scales against it is the greatest threat to P1999.
