So your feedback is increase the default chance to land a snare/root spell to 10% (up from 5%) and move up snare and root resist by ~2% on average?
Null stop cooking the books, Jesus Christ.

You have the best item in the game in every slot. You even have Plane of Sky quest items listed. So anywhere from 0-1% of the player base will have all those. You can't design a system around 0-1% of the player base. That's completely illogical and I don't consider it a valid example. One of the classes you posted is also a warrior, who receive +25MR bonus.

You could box multiple accounts on VZTZ so items were much easier to get. It only took two people boxing 4 characters to get a Tranix crown. It would probably take like 6 unboxed, level 50's to kill Tranix on EQ live, then all 6 of you have to roll on it.

Probably 1% of the server had that item on Sullon Zek pre-Luclin. NPC's were much easier to kill on VZTZ too, I tanked Innoruk from 80% to 0% while playing a level 50 ranger. It's hard even making an XP group on a real PvP server, let alone a Tranix or planes raid.

So yea, I don't consider a Christmas list of the best items in the game in every slot a valid example. An unbuffed melee in normal gear is a real example and the numbers are as follows:

On the monk, a legit MR value is 103MR : after Removing Tranix crown, replacing sky quest mask with lizardskin mask, removing sky quest shoulder wraps, removing Rakusha cloak, removing Cazic Thule loot bile choker. And that assumes 14MR Jacinth rings are actually common and you're wearing an Advisor Robe instead of Robe of the Lost Circle. If Jacinth rings aren't common, then it's 75. So anywhere from 75 for normal people to 123 for people with Jacinth rings + Tranix Crown and then your FR and CR are both like 25 STILL.

Crowd control resists should be based around 100-125MR, NOT sky quest items.

Like perhaps from 10 minutes to 30 seconds?
30 second snares with 65-74% resist rate against 100 to 125MR is a free kill. Calling that balanced is a joke. I would never play on a server like that. Raising your magic resist that high even leaves your FR/CR at like 25-35 so every ice comet lands for full damage too.

This is a wonderful system if your idea of balance is making naked casters viable and fully geared melees non-viable.
