quick test, yes the sample size is small as hell but lets talk about actual numbers and not just making stuff up. Nirgon whiel was fixed like so long ago not even sure why you are still bringing it up. i havent been whirled since jan or feb.

okay so i just spent 200pp on some mr bracers and casted endure magic on self. resisted 50% of the roots. not bad at 59 mr. with classic resisted you are saying none should land? seems like i dont have to sacrifice anything. 200pp = root resistant?

Nilbog,

will there possibly be a patch before velious ? Is that why rogs is waiting ? he just wants to patch everything at once ?

Is it a bitch for him to patch ? does he physically have to do something or just access the database from home ?

I'm not bitching, but damn, you'd think you want to keep the server as up to date as much as possible. Maybe a $$$ thing ? that would be a fair reason.

i can easily slap some najena arms (7 mr) a split paw hide mask (5mr) and some other cheap mr items and have 70+ mr with endure magic. not considering GMR or bard in group or any end game gear its pretty easy mr higher than 51 without even trying.

This was a result of code Null introduced for red and it was fixed. That's my stance and where my grievance is coming from. Oh, and its for end game PvE that helps one guild :P.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. It's a very easily resisted spell (should be) and takes very little gear risk (hello item loot isnt the end of the world) to achieve.
When I see classic EQ PvP + Kunark, I don't think of 50-50 chance at 70 magic resist to take an xp loss kiting mobs lol.

If you know a brain between your ears you don't need root to win as a caster. You also wont get instagibbed when one lands on your caster in group pvp.

51 mr is easily achievable with best in slot pve gear. basically there is no need for a pvp set which to me takes away from pvp. you should have to sacrifice dmg/mana/hps in order to gain the ability to resist mr spells. literally no sacrifice for anyone with blue PP which is another problem in itself.

^ Wtf is that I don't even..

SamwiseRed · #8 01-24-2013, 02:36 PM

?

you should sacrifice dmg/mana/hp to become root immune in pvp. i dont understand where you are confused. 51 mr is EASYILY achievable with BIS and/or buffs. classic resists didnt not count on more than half the server being as geared as they are here. there are twinks rolling around here who are better equipped than people who played rz/sz/whatever for years.

that said by word of mouth there are still some problems with people getting rooted in full MR gear. you would think after a year of this server being live someone would post screens of them getting rooted with 140+ mr or w/e they are claiming.

i think it's been pretty clear for the last 14 months that we're playing on a custom purple server

i'm not sure why any of you still think the devs care about pvp specific issues, and if you were ever under the misconception that they did, nilbog's responses here should probably clear that up for you

SamwiseRed · #10 01-24-2013, 02:45 PM

word but i still wanna hear Nirgons arguement as to how classic resists are balanced on this server. the average gear a person has on this server is literally 2-3times better than the average player on live.
