Resists

[Jirr]

It was more efficient to wear HP gear on live for certain classes through velious. My druid had enough HP and mana by velious that I would just ignore spell damage and heal through it.

I dont know, imo beta was skewed. People were given all the good shit. Right how i have all but diamond rings and planar raid gear. I play elemental song and my mr is 165, fr 160, cr 140 and the partials i see and the lack of chance to completely resist a nuke makes it more effecient to load up on hp gear. mithril bp, opal rings, and bs earings stacked with mr is better atm. Have that hp gear lets me take less dmg by % than having the resists i stated.

you did not resist single effect fire/cold nukes on live beyond partials.

magic, rains, dual effect nukes and so on sure. this is the same here except for magic nukes i believe.

switching out gear and gaining an extra couple hundred hp is not better for anyone i know except maybe folks that just run/gate soon as a fight starts since 1 let alone 2 partials, even lower ones outweigh the amount of hp gained from the hp gear.

you had a chance to resist spells on live. dont play downs

[Jigga]

couldnt total resist spells on live. OKAY! It wasnt common to total resist but you could do it.

I think everyone should have their main show as signature to see if posts like these are biased ;p

[Darwoth]

you did not get red full resists on elemental nukes on live whether or not you had 5 resistance or 5000 resistance.

[Steaks]

after luclin came out and people got 300+ you started to see alot of 50% dmg and even lower sometimes

full resists on fire or cold? i pkd as a wiz , and never saw one

i dont like darworth but he is right about resists

Are you kidding right now? You two are completely wrong. Full resists were common once you got above 150. Why else do you think Lures came out for wizards and Magicians became complete shit. Necros and Wizards were the only viable int casting class. ENC's were purely CC.

However, it was often that you would find an ENC tash followed by Malo. That was NECESSARY to land nukes as a mage, period. Here, partial resists are more uncommon than a manastone.

erm lures came out for pve like everything else in eq, thought we were talking about pvp

by velious i was between 180 - 220ish in fire and cold with 140 or so magic, not once did i ever flat resist a single effect elemental nuke. pretty obvious you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.

Gotta agree with Darwoth here

Never fully resisted a single nuke on live

Not sure what game Silikten played.
