So a group of 4 wizards should be able to kill any one person instantly? Correct?

fire/cold were too easy to resist on vztz imo. last box i just laughed at a wizard while he spammed ice comet till he ran oom. i had like 110 resist. never took any damage
ppl rarely stack cold resist in classic though, the only thing to get it for is ice comet. however.. wizards get FIRE nukes as well! omgz! if cold doesnt work, click the fire button.. | ||

Cold resist is underrated. Half the druid nukes are cold, shaman nukes are cold, the best pre-Kunark wizard nuke is cold, and the best wizard draught is cold. I'd stack cold resist over fire pre-Kunark where it's really only lava bolt and one half of the druid nuke combo that's fire. Regarding that, I'd rather fully resist Ice to avoid the -50FR debuff that'll make Starfire land hard. Both nukes are otherwise identical. Conflagration does 400 damage in PvP if it lands fully, so if a wizard has to use that spell due to my stacking cold resist, I'm happy with that. Cold resist is easier to stack than fire, too.

I played a mage from velious to PoP. I must say, mages did very well. Once PoP came out, the resists skyrocketed and they became utterly useless until the level 80 expansion.
I just remember nukes landed always consistently, but they were partials. The partials were usually always on the higher half though. For instance, ice comet did 900ish? so the partial would still hit for 450+ most of the time. That is pre-debuff status. Once you had flux staff, perhaps mala, few dispells, nukes landed very easily. The worst part was not having levi to fly over someone while u float down casting a 6 second nuke. | ||

@Kringe: some free advice... you should never, ever say anything like "I was pretty well known on RZ for a very long time." If you have to point out that you are famous and kind of a big deal, you are probably neither of those things. Brad Pitt doesn't have to walk into a room and be like "DO U KNOW WHO I AM???". He's just cool. Just be cool.

Being a good player 10+ years ago doesn't mean everything he says is right. Why don't you address what he said instead of what his name is?

Think this before you post "did I actually play EQ before Kunark on a pvp server"? If yes, "did I regularly participate in pvp"? If yes? Continue.
Unfortunately Kringe is trying to make a solid point. He has a lot of time invested in actual pre-kunark pvp as a caster. This "I played on SZ / started in Velious" crowd is just a joke with the "you take this too seriously" defense when they get put in a position where comparatively they don't know shit. Most of you actually, fucking do not, have a lvl 50 character who raided and pvp'd on one of the classic pvp servers. Yet, you continue to post away. Most people can't even offer what characters they played or cite specific examples, let alone several. People are on here saying they resisted drones line from druids and shit, or 4 ice comets never put a dent in them and was a shit spell. It is absolutely fucking silly. I further absolutely don't believe the people posting here had full sets of diamond or a 35 cold resist kedge cloak back in classic on a pre-kunark pvp server. What you see above is people saying "what you remember doesn't count" and then just making shit up, or basing it on post Velious or VZTZ experiences. I'd wager I can count on one hand how many people that will play on this server actually had experience in meaningful, classic EQ pvp. | ||
