The current resist system makes people make decisions on items, value one resist over another, etc. It makes classes viable that with a pure classic system are not. With root being resisted with something as simple as a couple 7mr bracers and 9mr neck rbf and bs mantle, all cheap and meaningless even with item loot, melees can easily joust in and out between casts, never get hit, and rape a caster, not to mention they don't even need to joust because casters can't channel through shit now against two one handers.
With the current resist system, they need to make many more item sacrifices to be immune, at the expense of other resists and hp/mana.
