1. Casters can no longer abuse root/snare against melee. Kunark weapons + no drop... I think you might need a crash course in EQ pvp under such a system. Try fighting a skilled paladin with working resists using a no drop wizard's mana pool. Or the price you pay against a good rogue getting casts off. You realize 120 resist is near immunity for almost all even con casts that are non-lure based? Do you know that it will benefit necros too who currently are weak 1v1 or how powerful healing becomes then? How about shamans who use disease debuff stacking? Again, I speak from experience, you are jumping to conclusions. I lol @ naked wizards in such a system taking ebolts etc to the face, or when they try to spam draught into a necro wearing resist gear.. or just try fighting a shaman in general as a naked wizard.
2. Yes there is, if you want to wear plat diamond rings etc to get to that correctly functioning regular partial/resist level.
3. See 1&2, RZ was bad ass.
Again, I'll save a full write up when we get open sourcing or another dev on resists.
