100 MR is not that high, it should not make you immune to crowd control spells. It's reasonable to hit 150 MR on a plate class without having Tranix Crown or Jacinth/Diamond jewelry.
Level range of caster vs. target is not being addressed in your rant against these resists either. I remember back in 2000 or so it was accepted that every level between caster/target was a +/- 10 SV all. Meaning 44 casting on a 50, the 50 had an arguable innate +60 sv all in resist checks against that target. This means that even-level testing you're doing w/ CC spells against 25 MR i would hope that shit would land atleast 60%. That argument means that a level 42 w/ 105 SV magic would be getting snared 60% of the time against a lvl 50.
I haven't accomplished 150+ MR on beta but i would like to get a chance to test this MR vs. CC spells of differing level casters. So far the resist system seems great. It's important to keep bard resist songs and the top-tier gear viable, separating the field.
Representation of 100 MR:
Dwarf/Erudite Paladin w/ Shiny Brass Shield and Skull Shaped Barbute + GMR = 100 MR.
Same with just Wolf's Eye jewelry: 123 MR
Same with Splitpaw Mask, Bloodstained Mantle, Runed Bone Fork: 148 MR
That's before any items that are even remotely hard to acquire.
