Resist "streak" anecdotes, anyone?

I think the issue people have with claiming resists are too low here is that they're talking about blue cons (often LOW blue cons) that have been debuffed. If you throw even a mid-level tash or malo on a mob 6-8 levels below you, it will stay rooted forever, it'll almost never resist any magic-based spell, it'll have a long average charm duration, etc. But they just stretch the fact that a low blue mob with -100 magic resist from tash, malo, and -mr gear isn't too hard to charm and is trivial to CC into "MR resist are too low!!!!!" across the board.

An even con without a debuff will resist the shit out of you for sure.


I've gotten most of the way through 35 today now. 550ish spellcasts total now, and resist rate has climbed a little from the 7.3% earlier. It's more like 9% now. So my 1 in 2500 resist streak really is more like a 1 in 2000 I guess. It has happened yet another time today now though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
