Dot's were never partial resist in classic, it was all or nothing. Generally the more useful dots were resistable - eg. ebolt line did a lot of damage quickly, but was fairly easily resisted with 70+pr.
If you had all your resists close to 100 around the time of classic/kunark, you were going to resist most of the resistable spells. Fighting someone with decent resists was all about using unresistables on them, especially if you were in resist-gear too and likely short on int/mana.
Around the velious or later eras the resists were changed. This helped a bit because your typical crybaby on RZ in classic was naked with an aviak charm, without the balls to wear their good gear in case they lost it, but later they upgraded to the fancy new no-drop stuff dropping in uber velious era raids.
