Game Mechanics: Resist results on even level and lower players here

[Harrison]

I've spoken to a large amount of people who can support this too:

Even level and under players resist way too fucking much on snare and grasping roots.

I'm talking 5+ times in a row with absolutely no resist buffs, gear, etc.

This is able to be reproduced and is definitely not right. If you've experienced this, "report in."

[Harrison]

I'm going to be busy today, but a good idea will be for people to do this in relative safety and post results. If no one does this I will do it later tonight when I get home.

Level of caster:
Level of victim:
Spell cast:
Amount of times casted:
Amount of times resisted:
Approximate length of duration(and the averages if you're thorough):

I cast 5 nukes on a white con. All hit for 1 (2x Shock of Flame, 3x Shock of Blades).

Could you fill out the information above to make this more thorough for the developers?

I'm going to bed so I can't do this tonight like I had planned.

edit: changed graphs

If we're doing classic style resists, I don't even remember having a spell resist on a naked person on EQ live before. Damage spells should use a different formula but crowd control spells should be like the following. These are both accurate within a 5% margin of error:

Wormcheck those are some really complex graphs you have there, did you get them directly from Verant or are those your own creations?

Clearly once you hit 120 MR you are unrootable. Everyone who played on a pvp server knows this.

In all seriousness, it's likely that resists behave something like this:

You can use (1 - some exponential function) as well for essentially the same result, which is how I generated my graph.

But I agree, and I'm sure the devs know, that resists should fall off a cliff when the caster outlevels the target by more than a few levels, and you shouldn't see frequent resists unless the target outlevels you or has 100+ resists.

i'm sorry what? this doesn't make anything that resembles a hyperbole, exponential functions make graphs of exponential functions. resist rates would not approach 100%, they would blow right past them.

1-e^-kx, where k is a function of level and resistance
