Spells: Resist issue since patch thread

[Potus]

Root was dependent on the caster and mob's level. You could root lowbie dark blues fairly reliably with Enstill and Paralyzing Earth and trust them to last significantly longer than Root (this was based off my experience solo'ing indoors on a Necro in places like HS and Seb).

Shit that was even con and above you're right, it'd break after a handful of ticks. Just use regular root for those.

Green mobs should not be resisting roots and should have it last nearly full duration. Malo'ed mobs as well, because their MR is practically negative.

Just had an orc centurion in EC resist malosini(lvl 58) casted by my 60 mage.

And how many in classic era would be casting that crap on orcs in EC?

Seriously? WTF are you casting that there for? To prove something there is not data to refute?

How many times as a 60, did you have some dumb ass green ghoul root you?

I am thinking a 5% chance to resist spells sounds good.

I always remember hearing that it was min 5% base chance to fizzle, resist a spell, or have one land (sans immunity from mob resist/level). I'd have to check for a source on that but I was under that impression since classic/kunark. I feel like aradune/abashi confirmed that % at some point.

The scenario was that I already had malosini mem'd and, being too lazy to switch to a lower level debuff, was using the spell to pull one of the orc camps for some low level player. Not trying to prove or disprove anything. It seemed odd to me, so I chimed in.

If you guys say there should be a chance for a mob to resist a spell no matter the level of the mob or player, then I guess I'll believe you. In this particular instance, it definitely struck me as strange because I've never seen anything like that on p99 before.

I guess I always assumed that resist likelihood was scaled somehow based on mob level, spell level, and player level.

Sarcasm I hope? Because quad kiting is a nightmare right now. I remember getting an occasional resist here and there on Bonds back in the day on my wizard. But going through 50% mana just trying to get all 4 snared at once? No. Never. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That's not why you're having issues.

this mob was a green con...

instant duration drops like 50% of the time, if it doesnt drop instantly then its resisted typically.
