I agree with the conclusions on channeling in this thread, but imo the lower resist rates and lull spells actually working are much bigger factors in making p99 easier.

I agree this is an issue as well. It goes hand in hand. Awhile back I was recalling how upset I'd get playing live EQ when root would resist, break, etc and then you couldn't channel through like 5 casts from being hit a single time resulting in your death level 10-30 or so. Never seems to happen on P99 and I could see it being both resists and channeling related.

I miss that difficulty because it made the reward greater, and more importantly promoted socialization and grouping. P99 current meta is so stupidly heavy on soloing and alts it's really just become toxic to enjoyment. This is ignoring the raid scene just talking purely about the leveling and grouping experience on the way to 50+.

I don't know why staff refuses to comment on this issue.

The resists are higher on p99 than I remember. See how easy that was?
