Unfortunately the earth pet root is way harder to resist than regular root. At lower levels it's almost unbearable. With 77 MR you will resist regular roots a lot more often (this isn't to say I think resists are great right now, but MR does have noticeable effects at higher amounts).

Null I just did this math pal

With a Monk, magic resist:


Casual: 53 (jc bracers + neck, splitpaw mask)
High End: 124 (jacinth rings, tranix crown, shiverback gloves, rakusha cloak, bd earrings)



I'm pretty sure that's actually where they max out - 125'ish. And that's a very difficult 125 to obtain, where you are sacrificing hps / other resists.

Can anyone here who actually plays a 35+ Monk, Rogue, or Warrior comment?

The way I see it is: if I can be reliably snared or rooted as a monk wearing resist gear, then no way in hell am I playing one here. That isn't classic (tm), and melee already had a tough time in classic. I'd go SK if anything.

I am currently playing a level 31 monk---
in the small pvp ive experienced as of now (on this server) monks are actually pretty good ~~

yes the resists are pretty fucked right now but i have around 58 MR unbuffed and i resist a decent amount of roots and snares in pvp.

monks are terrible before lvl 30 -- flying kick helps A LOT (as you probably already know)
however with the current system (unlike vztz) STR seems to help a lot and dex of course)

i followed the p99 wiki for stats and i seem to be putting out a good amount of damage -- i have about 110 STR/120dex/115 agi self buffed

i would say i land my hits ~~70% of the time in pve/pvp (guesstimate)
FD on this server is a lot better -- instant wipe on FD (pressuming it didnt fail - unlike on vztz you would have to wait about 2minutes for the forgotten message.)

Hope this helps big Searyx~

As a 50 warrior I have 134 unbuffed(no resist rings). I still get rooted/snared/mezzed about 15-20% of the time (just my random guess).

Thanks for the feedback thus far.

I got this PM.

If you go monk, don't even attempt MR stacking and just go with +health and carry pumices. You won't even notice roots resists starting til 80+ MR or higher. I am 50 with 105 MR and I resist maybe 2/3s? High level gems are very difficult to come by currently.

Warrior could get a solid enough MR(130+ buffed) with reasonable gear to probably be a lot of fun in a group.

Anyhow, that is the kind of resist curve you will be looking at on here. You end up relying on active dispelling rather than passive resisting. I'm sure you are familiar with the ups and downs of melee PvP otherwise.

This just sounds awful tbh if resist gear isn't even worthwhile. Pumice stone meta. Pumice were reserved for dispelling magic DoTs in classic. EQ never needed cc landing because it's never going to be balanced + the PvP was always about using the environment to dodge or stick to people. It's not WoW. I would rather see ice comets land for full constantly than get tagged by 1.5 sec ensnare or immobilize.

MAEK CLASSIC

OR I WILL PLAY SHADOW KNIGHT TILL FORUM IS FILLED WITH NERF SHADOW KNIGHT TEARS (CLINGING DARKNESS LANDED ON MY 120 MR QQ)
