havent had any poison resist gear to speak of until now, looks like ebolt and plague are not resisting properly at all and either have been given negative modifiers or for some reason are on the same resistance table as elemental single effect nukes (my dual effect nukes resist about 50% of the time at comparable resistance levels).

so far of 17 casts at 116 poison resist i have yet to resist one ebolt, i would be resistsing approximately 50% of them at that level on live.

if ebolt is going to be made unresistable like some magic dots it needs to be modified to come off in a single cure as magic dots do with a single dispel, currently it does full damage everytime since it is all or nothing, seems to land everytime, is the fastest acting dot i am aware of, does more damage than a full ice comet (1016) and is extremely difficult to remove. as it is an ebolt will still do 30% of my health if i have cure up and start casting it immediately (2 x 4 sec cast) in a real fight vs a shaman or a necro who has a pet out and so on your simply screwed as the dot will not resist and you will not get it off in time to recover and stay in the fight, best you can hope for is to run away/gate and cure it off before it kills you.

since 40% of the server will be necros and shamans this is going to be ugly

ya shamans are gonna fooking dominate right now as ive been bitching about for past week or so
