How EQ PvP really was - No bullshit guide

Your post is meaningless because you played a bard and have no idea what the resists of people you attacked were. A huge percent of PvP population had terrible gear.

As someone with high resists being attacked by them, I know exactly the threat of their 0 resist mod dots, and the threat was basically negligible. The occasional dots slipping through might have been a problem for normal races, but if you were a troll/iksar wearing a fungi, you just laugh at them.

I suppose that may be the case. But you were writing a guide, were you not? You never specified that the guide was written strictly for people playing trolls/iksar, with fungi tunics and above average resists. Maybe you should include that in the OP.

You are now only talking about a pvp game where people are in BiS raid gear. That is not relevant for most people on a pvp server.

Those people in BiS raid gear, if they were out solo pvping were either looking to gank people or if you were in grp, the dynamic is very different.

Also, get your story straight - if you are talking about classic era pvp stop including fungi tunics, epics, tstaffs and iksars. If we are talking Kunark/Velious, the pvp changes a lot especially in Velious where resists were a lot easier to get, hp pools were much larger and melee became even more dangerous.

Either way, lets just make it classic and be done with it. The devs are not going to balance the server around your opinion of bard vs melee.

Well I'm not some random noob player that plans to PvP with 25 magic resist, what point of view were you expecting for this post? I was in the best geared guild on SZ during the era that this P99 server represents (pre-luclin).

The differing opinions occur due to people with crappy gear fighting other crappy geared players.

Nothing in the original post says "0 expansions PvP", it talks about classic + kunark. There's no reason not to talk about it considering it's already out on P99 blue and the resist system is exactly the same as previous expansion.

There's no opinion in my post, it's how EQ live PvP was. The only opinion I stated is that they should use Sullon Zek 50% debuff bonus with normal EQ resists.

Even if you were playing a human with no fungi tunic while standing in the middle of west karana, they still wouldn't be able to kill you before you ran to the zone line if you had over 100FR/100CR o_O

This is why I say the server should utilize the Sullon Zek 50% debuff bonus if the server uses normal EQ resists so classes like this can team up with somebody that can cast malo or whatever which combined with their occlusion, would be pretty powerful.

Normal EQ resists + 50% debuff bonus is about as balanced as you can get because you only get free kills if you actually debuff someone to hell first.
