Spells: Spell Resist changes

[Daldaen]

The people who talk about getting resist gear being crucial back in the day for success on those fights.

Hoshkar's for example people got destroyed by but once they gathered up some disease resist gear they wrecked him.

Mentions 200-250 resists leading to semi-reliable resists.

With a -150 check that would mean they were getting semi-reliable resists as non-60s (most of these posters are mid-high 50s at that point) against 66 dragons with an effective 50-100 Resist. Doesn't see to add up with that resist check being in there.

Against a level 66 mob, 200-250 resists are gonna get owned with a -150 resist adjust.

With 0 resist adjust, at 60, gonna be about 30% to 50% (ish) resist rate for 200-250 resists, based on level differences.

This is why I am under the impression those AEs did not have a Lure component, also Lucy gives no indication in its history that those 4 VP AEs had a Lure (very peculiar that it would miss those 4 AEs all together). Same with Gore's AE (only Kunark Dragon to have a -150 outside VP... Fay/Sev/Tal are all 0 resist mod).

Haynar, I did a bit of quick googling for you.

http://www.eqclerics.org/forums/showthread.php?t=10824 is a fucking gold mine:

Just curious how other guilds are handling Talendor, I find him to be a fun/interesting dragon to hunt, so I thought I would share what I know so far, as well as post a few questions.

First of all, resists, I dont know...this is beginning to confuse me more and more. Yesterday, for the first time in a while, i had a bard grouped with me. My MR was 308, FR 290. At level 57, with resists this high, I still was only resisting about one in 3 waves of either fear or the dot.

Did Sev last night.

Ran PR/MR at 230(ish) each.

Resisted everything.

I dont think Im going to cross 255 again.

In Hall of Test, the wurms usually has 2 AEs. They hit me full almost all the time with about 100 resist at Lv60. At 130 to 150s resist, the weak AE always can't hit full, but the strong one still hit full most of time. At 200 or so resist, all of their AE almost never hit me full.
Seems resistant is kinda useless for Lv60 or so mobs AEs if you are lower than Lv58. I noticed a big different on trakanon's AE at between Lv57 and Lv58.

So basically I think resists here are still tuned way, way too hard. A L60 PC with 255 resists should be near immune to non-lure spells from a L60 NPC, and mostly resist even a L66 PC. Everyone considered these Kunark raid mobs to be jokes. Of course, if we want to make things a bit harder here . . . [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Also, it's worth noting how EVERYONE keeps talking level level level. If you aren't 60 (of course, thanks to ChardokAE, who is not 60?) you should be getting destroyed. The flip side to this is I bet at 100+ you should be nearly immune to xp mobs like krups.
