This is definitely anecdotal evidence, but I'm sure other people who played on Sullon or other pvp servers can back me up. Level and gear were far more important than they are here when it comes to resists. Once someone is light blue or green to you, they'd better have 100+ resist or your spells WOULD land almost every time.

Anyone who was ever corpse camped also remembers that when you are naked (ie no resist gear), root / snare would land almost every time from people near your level. If they were a low blue con, you might resist a couple, but if they were high blue / even / yellow, you would almost never resist a snare or a root (or a nuke, for that matter) without gear.

I can't remember exact numbers, but I'm absolutely positive that if a player has no resist gear and no MR buffs, root and snare would almost always land if a player was around your level. If someone was a green con, you could root / snare them reliably unless they had 100+ MR, in which case you can still land them every now and then until resists approach crazy (200+) levels. On my bard, in my high 40's / low 50s, I would run with 200+ MR and most 60s would never land a root on me.

Hope this helps
