Crazy,
You have some good points. What i dont agree with is - OP spells. Im not arguing the point that your 300 resists. With resists that high you should have almost total protection. My disagreement is that when a spell lands.... It should not no effect you ??? So if i was a caster and finally... finally i got a spell threw that 300 resists it should not root ya? or do damage? Hell with resists that high a caster might not land any spell. Seems like a Trade off... balance dont ya think---- for the trade you get for all that resistance--- is BRD dps blows. THERE IT IS- balance. Seems like nothing is wrong with the out of the box system.
Let me say it again... With your 300 resists, chances are you will should not see any spells get threw. ON THE FLIP side, BRD Dps aint great. Thats Balance. Cast-Cast-Cast, nothing getting threw you are owning the caster with all that resist. But finally one spell gets threw and you say... no the caster spells are OPed ?

I think you read me wrong. When a stun/root/snare did land during that time IT lasted full duration (snares used to last 15mins in pvp and there was a chance when a nuke landed the snare effect could come off). My problem was it was landing TOO much with 300 resists i mean way too much. Having 80-100 MR used to resist root/snare so easy. But once you had that enchanter tash or or shaman malo you man u better cure or dispel quick or you were TOAST!!!. You really didn't need a enchanter or shaman to tash/malo anyone on VZTZ to land spells, you just cast stun and it landed 60-70 % of the time. It made those 2 classes not needed in pvp, it was just a melee game.
Basically you should resist spells 95 % of the time (mainly the OP spells like whirl/snare/root/stuns) with 200 + mr. But if it did land 1 time out of 20+ or 30+ spell casts then I'm one not to complain.
Back in the days there was more skill involved in EQ. More jousting and less casting of snare/root (unless you had a shaman/enchanter with you). On VZTZ everyone spams the EZ spells. Roll with a group cast stun steam roll 1 person who had zero chance of escaping unless he gets a lucky gate off.
VZTZ all loots were also easy to attain so everyone already had high resists... THIS IS p99!!! shit will be rare! and exp will be slow! so if you earn 100 + resists on all your resist stats man you earn your bragging rights.
