Well I'm 100% positive that I can....because druids have a spell called ensnare which obviously works off the same resist root does. If ensnare landed on you, you would be stuck and not able to go anywhere for a solid 10 minutes on EQ live PvP servers.

Seeing as how EQ has always been crawling with druids, you definitely notice when spells like that stop landing on you. I think you could still land maybe 1 out of 10 or 20 with 80mr but with 100+ magic resist, nobody casted it on you.

Do you think the EQ devs would actually let people land crowd control spells like that plus 8 second long chanter stuns? A wizard and chanter could just group together and mez/stun/nuke everyone in the game to death.

I think with maximum MR gear in classic ( considering the game will have to scale to kunark) 75% resist to root with 25% partial resists (under 5 second break) would be fair

Once again, there is no logic whatsoever to that. You made a statement then failed to define *WHY* it should be like that or give any reasons. "Would be fair" is not a reason. There is no mention of caster vs melee or caster vs caster game dynamics or why any of it should be changed from normal EQ PvP servers.

The reason is implied, sorry i've not dealt with anyone who had down syndrome before, i retract all comments made against wehrmacht, as i wasn't aware of his illness.

Sorry but you're a brit and know better than trying to pull some nonsense like that. There is no logical implied reason to that sentence.

Why is it fair? 10 out of 14 classes get an innate form of root or snare. Are 10 out of 14 classes underpowered?

If you want to balance classes, you start from a baseline and identify which ones under perform. The baseline is EQ, it is not TZVZ.

I'm implying you have down syndrome, you'll get it eventually, try to squint your eyes at the screen or something.

We'll pvp on the imaginary box bro, not going to let you pvp my brain cells, let's just hope that root gets resisted

In summary, bombfist would like stuff to be changed from EQ live. Tosses out some random arbitrary number, can't think of any reason why it's actually a good thing to do, then results to spamming giant pictures when he gets called on it.

No one resisted root 100% of the time. Ever. In any era.

SZ was released after velious.

Your impaired memory has no bearing on reality. You were inconsequential in the big picture of SZ and your word has no weight.

Goebbles was wrong. It doesn't matter how many times you repeat your lie, we aren't going to start believing it.

Instead of whining and trying to make up propaganda, why don't you post what you *think* the resists were during classic to velious era of PvP. Notice I typed the word think since you didn't play then. But go ahead, attempt to post something in detail about how it worked since all your posts so far have been worthless and not describing how any of the mechanics worked then. All your posts are just whining directed at me.
