why not classic resists?

[Dullah]

You didn't roll around with 200 mr in classic, because it was a waste unless you were trying to main tank something. Enchanters are the CC class is the point. CC from other classes was seldom useful in pvp against competent players. You could still mez players with really high MR, and in the cases against bards where their MR exceeded 200, you could always use rapture. Really this is moot though, because thankfully you changed this for the most part. It should also be incorporated into stuns and DDs with stuns like enchanter and cleric nukes also.

On live, if you had 200+ to any 1 save, first of all, you had to be stacking a particular resist prior to velious, which meant you'd be vulnerable to other spells. You'd also be sacrificing a lot of hp, which means it'd take less damage to kill you. Going OOM on a caster against someone purely by virtue of their resists was pretty much unheard of in my years of pvping. Here, its a reality and has happened to me numerous times.

Thanks for your responses.

Who are you? Everyone knows who I am, and I've made detailed arguments for many months prior to your showing up on the scene. I'm the guy helping the community because unlike many people here, I have 1000s of hours of classic EQ experience and am old enough to remember EQ while you were still finger painting in vomit on your momma's titties.

Furthermore, how would the collective memories of numerous players which serves as collaborative evidence of the classic system be less qualified on a "Classic" Server than a completely overhauled, admittedly unclassic system based on 1 person's preferences (regardless of how good they are)? Don't answer that, don't care what you think, its rhetorical for other readers, not you kid.

Go fuck yourself.
