If you think that, you either haven't leveled from 1-50 or a while or never played Classic Everquest.
I am in a constant state of leveling my characters, because of the stupidness that is the endgame raid content on P99. I level mainly casters. At no point have I ever said, "Wow you know what, these resists seem really good and fair compared to what they used to be such a short time ago on Live." There were, however, many, MANY times I said "there is no fucking way that should ever happen."

I don't want to be too contentious but I really see no problem with the resists as they are. I played an SK in classic and have some idea of what resists were like. I leveled a Bard here from 1-60 here (roughly 50-60 when the new resist changes went in), and I have an enchanter floating around level 23 here as well. What I've noticed:
-If a mob is a low blue con, I almost never get resists (maybe 5% of the time at most).
-If a mob is a high blue con (say, 1-2 levels lower than me), resist rates are much higher (maybe ~25% of the time)
For instance, my Bard's mez spell has a nearly 100% chance of landing on mobs in the level 45-49 range. I say this because as far as I know I have never gotten a resist on a mob in that range since I hit 60. However if a mob is closer to my mez's level cap (55), resists are much more frequent (for example, my mez gets resisted on the bees in Sky about 60% of the time, roughly the same percentage of the time for Drusella, and probably about as low as 20% of the time for the shrooms in Seb). If my enchanter is fighting a blue con ghoul in Unrest, nothing ever gets resisted, but if he's fighting a level 20+ mob, again, resists happen maybe once every four spells. This is just my experience and I don't find these numbers are that brutal, and they seem classically accurate as far as I remember.
