Are you fucking retarded? Crimson pot will break mez, but it does not make you immune to mez. The mez landing will still prevent casting. Thus the wizard still not being able to kill bard.

wizard is awful then cause it's probably one of the better bard killing classes

bards have no cures, ancient mez, mana drain, overhaste et al til Luclin++ shit do they even get a velious hybrid disc? and complaining about OP lol yall are so bad

The only problem is a resist check at every pulse means it wont just fuck a bard. if theres a resist check at every PULSE then it will affect spells like snare or dots or ANYTHING thats about to fade. A spell starts fading at 30 seconds. each pulse is 2 seconds, so every 2 seconds starting at that 30 second mark, theres a resist check.

now im just going to create numbers to use as an example for this:

lets say you resist snare 80% of the time. lets say it lands on you for one minute. when it gets down to 30 seconds left it pulses, then continues to pulse every 2 seconds. For every 2 seconds thats an 80% chance it will resist and snare is gone.

Furthermore, lets say snare lands and it lands with 30 seconds left. It immediately starts pulsing. so if snare isn't resisted it still gets a resist check for its first pulse at 30 seconds. so Even if you land snare you gotta hope it doesn't immediately fall off.

Lastly, I never truly paid too much attention to stuff like hit/miss ratios and resist checks and all that bullshit while playing on live because i spent my time actualy working around that shit ingame. was more fun actualy PLAYING the game and finding ways around the bullshit rather than whining like a pussy about it. unfortunately i don't the time to actualy play the game quite yet, so this information is based off of logical deductions and hypothesis' that have yet to be tested(if at all) by yours truly.

I'm not sure where to begin. Everytime the buff or debuff pulses on your UI (2 seconds, I guess?) - that's not a resist check happening. Second, DoTs won't fade early on their own. If you land a DoT, it's gonna run it's course unless you dispel it or die. Third, spells with periodic resist checks do such on the standard 6 second interval. Fourth, I -think- the OP meant pulses as the song refreshing itself from being left on.

i'm not sure if lovely is cut out for this game

his emotions run wild when he hits that enter norrath button

i'm not even kidding; this seems like a legitimate issue for him and it cannot be healthy

on topic, this is one of those things that appears to be classic but is also retarded

There is no way in the universe this is balanced or good for the server. You could basically roam around with bards and if you find someone keep them mezzed. Call your guild to port in and a 100% kill. Or just grief someone for hours without them being able to do anything. You could mez someone and go take a 30 min lunch break and when yer back you'd still have the same person standing there mezzed.

lol this is exactly what happened to me in vztz one time. i was harassing big rosanne pretty hard on my druid, killin him repeatedly as he boxed cleric as well. anyway after about 45 minutes dojii came and kept me mezed for literally 30 minutes before 4 of his guildmates came and surrounded me to kill. (don't worry though, i still escaped. cheetah'd off a cliff and gated)

What a load of shit. Carry crimson pots for fucks sake. You roll with 15 buffs, you have instant click red wands, ivandyrs hoops, golem wands on beta. You have max gear better than most on beta. You're crying about a bard perma mezzing you?

Fucking /q. Relog. Click crim pot. Kill bard.

Faggot.

You talk a lot of shit Lovely, i hope I run into you upon release, wonder if you'll be rolling around max geared, with max plat to recharge clicks with the ability to login 4 toons to max buff yourself to kill people grinding and beta testing. Hopefully you're as big and bad as you claim to be, maybe you can teach me something about EQ pvp. Until then, your method of reporting bugs appear to be more of a cry for attention.

this made me smile

also: lol at lovely crying about someone griefing and it having nothing to do with PVP. pretty sure you bind camped my naked cleric at her bind with 4 of your buddies, eventually trying to knock me into lava and cause me xp loss, while i was trying to beta test. that all definitely has a lot to do with "pvp" although i didnt care, i waited for you to move on then proceeded to play Everquest, take notes son.

you really made yourself a sore thumb in this beta, i dont think live is going to be as badass as you think it is for yourself

I wasn;t saying "this is how it is" i was responding to lovely's quote with a reason why i didn't think it would work that way:

there should be a resist chance on every pulse like every other CC ability in the game.

see? i was simply telling him why it wouldn't work with resist checking every pulse. and you are correct the op meant pulses as the song refreshes itself from being left on.... which if i remember correctly is every 2 seconds. I'm not completely sure if it truly is refreshed every 2 seconds. I'm also unsure whether or not it is completely coincidental that the timing of the spell in your UI fading is the ssame as a bards song refreshing itself. as i pointed out at the end of my last post i don't know all the mathematics, simply creating an idea useing what little knowledge i have combined with some logic.

I haven't played in years, but I'm pretty sure it's every 6 seconds.
