How is it just "ok"? Even if you had 160FR completely unbuffed (who has that during kunark?), one malo takes you to 115FR (even if you had 55FR druid buff up), then all base nukes are -25mod to lower it even further to 90FR. You would fully resist standard nukes 70% of the time and resist draughts 45% of the time.

This is nowhere near to classic. If you want a Project1999 PvP server, I'd suggest sticking somewhere to 1999. Resisting ANY NUKE except for MR based one was something that was RARELY obtainable unless your resists were in 150+. Even then, I will reiterate, it was rare. Magic based nukes, however, were easier to resist. And no, I am not going to create a graph to solidify my point. But with the system you are proposing, you are making it so any melee with stacked resists has a chance to fully resist nukes that shouldn't be able to be resisted easily.

If a wizard gets their draughts resisted nearly half, and their Ice Comets resisted 75% of the time, you now have a broken class that nobody is going to play. Everyone is going to roll Shadow Knights, Warriors, and Rogues.

My suggestion would be to do some research on the PvP servers back in 1999 and try to mirror a system closely to that, as it's likely going to inspire a solid implementation by the P99 staff. Not some system that you think will better make melees awesome.
