^ No, a full resist on a direct damage spell (with no resist mod) from an even con target at 248 fire resist should be the most common thing that happens.

What's the difference between a very low partial (which would most likely occur at that resist value in the type of system I'm proposing) and a full resist?
Damage-wise? Practically nothing.
The difference is that in the former case, spells like shock of lightning that were used to interrupt will still have an effect (hi strategy that nirgon is always talking about but doesn't seem to understand) instead of being resisted so often that it's stupid to even think of casting it.

This makes the risk vs reward good (hi everquest) both ways with item loot.
If you are confident enough to wear a froglok crown/diamond resist ring? Good. You are risking (something easy to get tbh) for that reward in pvp.

When are you going to get it through your head that item loot will not be happening on this server? Stop trying to use it as a justification for ersatz classic resists.

the goal of this project is as close to classic and the spirit of classic as possible. there are custom pvp servers(salty's iteration of vztz, rolfron zek, legacy of zek, etc.) out there, i suggest you play there considering haynar has already stated that his aim is to replicate the classic pvp mechanics.

The problem with this approach is that genuinely classic pvp resists were governed by more unknown factors than probably any other subsystem in this game. There's no hard evidence or information upon which to even begin modeling a classic system, the best he can hope to do is align its output with a few foggy recollections of the past.
