why not classic resists?

[Dullah]

You didn't roll around with 200 mr in classic, because it was a waste unless you were trying to main tank something. Enchanters are the CC class is the point. CC from other classes was seldom useful in pvp against competent players. You could still mez players with really high MR, and in the cases against bards where their MR exceeded 200, you could always use rapture. Really this is moot though, because thankfully you changed this for the most part. It should also be incorporated into stuns and DDs with stuns like enchanter and cleric nukes also.

On live, if you had 200+ to any 1 save, first of all, you had to be stacking a particular resist prior to velious, which meant you'd be vulnerable to other spells. You'd also be sacrificing a lot of hp, which means it'd take less damage to kill you. Going OOM on a caster against someone purely by virtue of their resists was pretty much unheard of in my years of pvping. Here, its a reality and has happened to me numerous times.

Thanks for your responses.

Who are you? Everyone knows who I am, and I've made detailed arguments for many months prior to your showing up on the scene. I'm the guy helping the community because unlike many people here, I have 1000s of hours of classic EQ experience and am old enough to remember EQ while you were still finger painting in vomit on your momma's titties.

Furthermore, how would the collective memories of numerous players which serves as collaborative evidence of the classic system be less qualified on a "Classic" Server than a completely overhauled, admittedly unclassic system based on 1 person's preferences (regardless of how good they are)? Don't answer that, don't care what you think, its rhetorical for other readers, not you kid.

Go fuck yourself.

Pulling the seniority card because you can't be bothered to make valid arguments outside of the realm of your own memory of how things worked? Bravo, sir.

I've been playing EverQuest since 1999. I started playing Rallos Zek immediately and still remember the class / race and names for most of the characters I was on during that time period. On top of that, I've been a part of this community longer than you via Bardalicious' join date compared to yours, and was even a part of it a lot longer yet under a different forum name.

Continue believing that your recollection of classic EQ means jack shit in terms of getting currently-working combat systems changed, and I'll keep laughing in your face. You obviously don't understand how things work around here nor do you understand how "helping the community" works.

If you need 150 mr to resist root or mez, thats wrong. In classic EQ, i always kept my mr at around 70 and almost never did I get rooted or snared. At 90 it was basically impossible and when it hit, it seemed to almost always break immediately.

Warmacht is that you? HALP, ROOTED!
