Spells: Resists dont match up to live - Page 2

Here's logs of 8 starfires with 150 fr:

[Thu Dec 22 20:49:20 2011] You feel the glare of the heavens. You have taken 612 points of damage.

[Thu Dec 22 20:44:48 2011] You feel the glare of the heavens. You have taken 612 points of damage.

[Thu Dec 22 20:44:36 2011] You feel the glare of the heavens. You have taken 302 points of damage.

[Thu Dec 22 20:43:07 2011] You feel the glare of the heavens. You have taken 536 points of damage.

[Thu Dec 22 20:40:22 2011] You feel the glare of the heavens. You have taken 296 points of damage.

[Thu Dec 22 20:39:15 2011] You feel the glare of the heavens. You have taken 289 points of damage.

[Thu Dec 22 20:39:01 2011] You feel the glare of the heavens. You have taken 271 points of damage.

[Thu Dec 22 20:37:07 2011] You feel the glare of the heavens. You have taken 499 points of damage.

So what can we make out of these limited tries? Resists are useless. Thats 10 slots of resist gear to get 149 fr and no full resists, some even landed full. I'm missing a golden diamond mask and a drakescale belt for the max FR in classic.

What does resists like these promote? Zergs - even in full resist gear, you cant resist anything from worst geared people. Whats the point then?

Current solution: get HP gear, hope you have enough MR to resist the crowd control spell and forget about any other resists -- they're useless. Mass recruit people to your guild and hope they know how to cast a nuke, cuz that nuke will land no matter what!

8 casts show nothing, try doing hundreds like i have done.

in your paltry 8 casts you took half damage 50% of the time and partials 25% of the time

at 149 fr that looks almost identical to classic, but as i understand your from a blue server and wouldn't know that.

Darwoth not knowing Nizzarr actually hails from PvP server. Owning himself.

Why would he? Nizzarr got 60 on SZ and quit before anyone on other teams were within 5 lvls of him. Szeth self owned.

lovely said he was from a blue server, if he was on sz at any point during the time i played there it is news to me.

Lovely =/= Nizzarr

Was looking for darw/nizzarr to do some tests just now but neither online

I'm in full agreement with this as muc has I troll. I never even partialed a spell until 50 (well tbh Ive just been sitting on 49 if that makes a diff). I was stuck in a spot today in guk and nizzarr casted 4-5 starfires on me which the highest partial was not even 50% and I had 197FR with my song going...

before that I ate some mage bolts with same FR and one hit for full and the other partialed for something like 60-70%. MR I think is somewhat in line but FR (and assuming CR) is borked.

Aw. I can't become immune to damage a week after hitting 50 before planes or kunark released.

I'm just curious if it's possible to fully resist a nuke on this server (I'm talking about regular nukes, not nukes with other effects like stun/etc.), and if so, whether the low full resist rate is intended. Null?
