The balance resists thread.

[Tippett]

I got 2/6 rooted by Andis at 193 MR

He was 7 levels higher but it's still retarded

That is all

[Nirgon]

Exactly. Why do you think raid mobs summon? Or you can't root them? Heh.

That spell is for handling trash mobs, naked players and pets without magic resist buff.

But, tell that to the guys killing Naggy with less than 20, including lvl 40s claiming its classic and I need to l2p :P.

Need samples of well over 10 casts folks. See my original thread on the topic:

Root Test - 101 casts at 128mr

95 resists - 6 landed

That's the largest sample size I'm aware of anyone providing and has root at ~6% chance at 128mr...

well one theory is the druid line is not obeying the laws of resists. im willing to test this tonite with anyone after the event. thanks vayder for providing actual tests. again this thead isnt for your war stories. i only wanna see hard facts.

when considering MR balance take into consideration:

the kind of gear floating around and have access too.

the availability of bards/buffs

I don't want to derail your post, but I believe the above factors shouldn't be taken into consideration, unless you're looking for a custom system.

[Tippett]

I think the huge variable here is level difference, people need to take that into consideration during the tests

looking for a balanced system, what factors should we consider? if this was a brand new game there wasnt a wiki with every mr piece of gear location ect ect. 51 mr might be balanced. that is not the case today. im sure people had well over 70 mr within the first 2 weeks.

true i am really interested in seeing how much a factor this is. I would think it would be the main factor seeing as how its the main factor in pve.

Well if you're looking for a balanced system (read: custom) then yes, use those variables all you want. You'd be customizing it based on whats currently happening on the server (read: gear/class selection/lvl desparity)

Or you just go with classic and all its faults.

I'm not saying one is better, but it sounds like you want something close to classic, but customized for this server ?

And you wonder why you didn't resist all of them? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
