Spells: Poison breath too easily resistable

Final nail in the coffin imo regarding resists past 255 for this server and its era, source http://innoruukguildalliance.yuku.co...on-is-possible:


Level based and further comments on dragon roar being goddamn ridiculous to resist:

Glad you could find something on this.

I searched for awhile and could never find anything on it ;/

Although one quote doesn't prove the resists were capped at 255, I do think this is how it worked.

at level 60 with 250+ MR i get hit with dragon fear. With 322 PR I also get hit with trak ae sometimes. I think you are making assumptions off of a very small sample size of data. Trak dies so quick he barely gets off 1 ae. On live people had less dps, worse resist gear, and lower levels- trak was never as hard as you want him to be, people just werent prepared.

lol look at all those people feared... even 60s in velious gear

wasnt fear, that was the mob ability that made poeple go linkdead, dont ask me what it was I dont remember.

[SamwiseRed]

what is the resist check for the linkdead ability?

[Nirgon]

Fear flagged players as linkdead, which includes dragon fear before you find basis for another multiple face palm inducing argument.

I call shenanigans on Nizzar's pics being related to Trakanon kills or as evidence to negate that breaths did not ever land from him on lvl 60 players with 175 poison.

There are x players in...... you seem to have chopped off which zone [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. Shenanigans.


Oh hey someone with dmf/shadoo getting poison breathed in Velious... in b4 no blue diamond gear or they didn't have resist as a raiding guild clearing Velious content. I added some notes for people with a less trained eye, but did not add the blacked out text boxes.. source:

Again, obvious to someone who raided the content (oh hey some corpses in this one too early into the fight, man what happened). I'm also NOT contending that he didn't die quickly, notice the comment below the screenie in the source link. Also, regarding what level they likely were and availability of resist gear at this point? This image is from goddamned JULY 2001 into Velious. Luclin being December 2001.

It lands all the time on people with 300+ pr

400pr multiple times, and with under 300pr .

Someone just set off the not classic alarm!

The whole pretense of being experienced in this era as an RZ vet is laughable too. Anyone who played end game kunark-velious knows dragons stayed up for weeks at a time due to lower pop and much higher competition. The opportunity to truly test pve was therefore nonexistent. Better off lying saying you played a blue server. It would carry more weight.

The whole pretense of this... maybe to most people like you who were wondering where to level and how the game was played, but RZ had extremely knowledgeable players (hi there!) handling end game content with big boy gear. I had a wizard epic and mana robe on live RZ during this era. Dr. Jelly-ngton I presume? I don't need pixels here to try and establish myself (cough cough cough).

I have no idea what you guys are talking about claiming you get hit by this aoe above 250 PR. I raided in TMO/IB on my bard and with just my buffs/shadoo alone I resisted literally everything. I kept my fingerbone hoop equipped, I sold off PR gear I had hoarded when officers told us to collect 300+ around Kunark release.

Infact I never even raided Trak at level 60 on Mythoxxus and still maybe twice in over 30-35 Trak attempts did I actually take an AOE. It is something that I think could be looked into, yet I also think that Trak is trivialized no matter what by the sheer amount of numbers and loot saturation present this far into Kunark.

THANK YOU

[Brut]

Don't think this is Trak breath exclusive, but moreso something about NPC poison-based dots having wonky resists in general. I resist ebolts from the high level shaman frogs in seb like 95% of the time without bothering with PR equip at all, got like 50-60 going around most of the time and rarely seen ebolt/ebreath land. Pretty sure have resisted them while malo'd also.

On the other hand, lvl60 w/ 300+ PR and I get hit by Trak AE like 9/10 times. So bleh.

There's prob something off with the resist checks when being low lvl / having low resist #?

... foolish speculations.. blah blah

Way to intentionally remove half the quote to argue your "point".

I said with under 300pr, the ae lands quite frequently.

How pathetic do you have to be to continue crusading against mechanics you have no experience with either on live and or p99?

OG players from both Legacy of Steel and Fires of Heavens have posted in this thread with hundreds of kills on live and both claim it to be legit. These same players have endorsed making the encounter harder in ways that put it in line with classic (agro range), but the trak breath does not fall into this category.

And ya, I remember you from RZ, you were not the super star you pretend to be. I previously didn't want to bust your balls and out you on the forums, but you are losing it and clearly furious. Take a deep breath and step back. Either play or don't, but stop trying to compensate for your shortcomings in game by forum warrioring.

Non factors gonna not factor.

[Nirgon]

I'm sure he's great fun here with 400pr and when its resisted at 100 PR range for 51-55's.

Killed on live, killed on blue, classic players gonna want classic.

Ya, trak has been killed tons of times. He's a biatch, thats for sure. (actually I wouldnt know, I died in 2.3 seconds) Word of advice, make sure your PR (poison resist) is at LEAST 200...and thats on the low end. Mine was only 150 and as I said, I didn't last long enough to even see 1 spell cast.
