Pudge: Are you suggesting the resist system be modified in each expansion? As people camp gear the resist requirements should increase?
Also you nerds to keep in mind these calculations and samples do not include Resist Magic, GMR, or bard songs. In your dream 30v30 zerg scenario I guarantee you that your melee will have Resist-GMR and/or bard song.
NukeAfrica: Since you conveniently left this out, I thought I should mention it. You cannot and should not balance resists around an UNBUFFED monk. Plate and chain both have access to much more easy to get resist gear than monks. Balancing it around monks just creates another scenario where War/SK/Pal/etc are immune to CC two weeks after dinging 50. Furthermore, in these 30v30 zerg scenarios melee will have resist-group resist magic and potentially bard songs. Even in small group combat melee are going to be nearly cc immune a month into the server. You don't like being rooted and solo'd outdoors by a caster? Don't fucking go outdoors without friends.
MR neck, bracers, mithril arms and legs, mr earrings, bs mantle, maybe dwarven tunic, split paw mask, maybe tranix crown, and diamond/jac rings - DONE - CC immune without buffs.
I like the current resist setup Null, and I'm sure I'll probably like this potential change to MR. These people that claim noone will ever have buffs are delusional though. They have to be included in balance discussions because they are not nearly as uncommon as people make it out to be. I mean hell, like a third of the classes in the game can buff MR to some extent. In these group PvP scenarios people will have MR buffs. If a monk is bitching about not being able to fight casters outdoors solo in classic... well, he isn't worth listening to because he's a giant fucking moron.
