The code for the resist system (at least the one when I was deving) is publicly accessible and there is nothing in that code or spell file that would make druid nukes (or really nukes in general) resist more than snares, roots, stuns or mez. Actually there is a chunk of code that ensures that nukes will always land easier than the spells types you mentioned. At 300MR you would resist roots, snares, mez and stuns at >95% of the time.

I am not pointing this out in an effort to defend VZTZ, my resist code or to say that you are a lier. I just think its worth pointing out how skewed memories can get of how resists worked about a year ago, let alone 12 years ago on EQ live.
