I hate to spam this thread but it's just so horribly inaccurate, when you say the top raiding guild you mean the only raiding guild right - Pandemonium being the only guild in Ntov and only guild to have primals is a quite a unique gap. It's literally all the top raid gear in one guild, clearly their most dedicated hybrids will be able to shit on people.

Yes, and the reason for this is....?
The gear (and later AA point) advantage was one of the biggest killers of any semblence of PvP balance that EQ had, which is why people most fondly remember the classic/kunark eras for PvP and not the later expansions.
Look no further than Aspit after the first few expansions. The gap between him and a casual player of the same level/class was hilarious. To the point where he literally couldn't be killed even when AFK and we might as well just remove PvP from the game altogether because the game genie code is already on -- if you're a career neckbeard who plays hardcore enough.
My only point here is that it shouldn't give you that much of an advantage. Obtaining a 99% resist rate (even with tash or malo on) should not be possible.
I'm not saying you reinvent the wheel here. I'm saying you make it 89% instead of 99% (not exact numbers but you get the point).
And instead of 3 full ice comets and 5 full resists + one 15 minute ensnare and twenty full resists, you normalize that to an extent to with partial resists.
The end result is effectively the same. It is just more consistent and less random.
