Why are people still talking about dispel being resisted on players? Dispel dosent even land on "you" it lands on your debuffs/buffs and its those debuffs/buffs that make a resistance check vs. the strength of the dispell. And yes, some dispells are so weak or some buffs are so strong, that the buff will resist being dispelled.
Has nothing to do with a players MR, or anything. Its interaction between the particular dispell and buff. We know what makes a dispell weak or strong (the number in parenthesis, see Tapar Enchantment doing next to nothing with its awsome strength of zero vs. recant magic's strength of 9) but I think what we are in the dark about still is what makes a buff "strong" and resisty.
Level of the buffer who cast it? Level of the buff spell itself? Something else?
All the evidence points to this, and all your memories of pumice stones working EXACTLY the same each and every cast, no matter what the buffs or what the levels, does not constitute fact. It just sounds like a bunch of monks wanting to make sure their pumice will ALWAYS take off the first two buff slots , no matter what is on them, and never resist one of those first two slots to then strike down a buff farther down on their precious buff list.
tl;dr: Yes players cannot resist "dispell", but your buffs sure can. Load up an enchanter with Taper Enchantment and tell me how that works out for you.
