I realize this isn't a VP dragon, but was looking into resist system in general to see if there was more merit to player resists being a joke. I found this interesting, post is dated July of 2001:

Oh, side note, killed my first dragon ever yesterday. Faydedar. We did it with only 4 groups of people, too. Got Manan his LP for his epic. I don't know if it was just him, but dragon roar seems very weak. I only had 88 MR and it diddn't even stick once. His lava breath, though, sucks. I was up to about 130 FR and I was consistantly getting hit for a few hundred a shot. Not that it's a lot, mind you, but it's AoE so it adds up when the healer is trying to heal everyone.

Should be worth mentioning that Faydedar is a level 55 dragon, and this poster previously mentioned he was a level 51 earlier in the thread. Even if Faydedar's Roar had no lure component, I feel like a level 51 with 88 MR would be constantly running in terror on P99?
I'm not sure what Faydedar casts as dragon weapon on P99 vs. Live, but if it is Lava Breath per the wiki (500 AoE) then 130 FR being able to knock this down to 'a few hundred' gives resist adjustments a bit more merit.
