For many people that's not even remotely feasible, for others it means sacrificing hp/other resists just for a chance at resisting root. For whatever reason that 5% seems much more likely on first casts here. I don't want to hear about casters being ineffective, wizards have fast cast lure spells, mages have fire nukes and pets, enchanters are great utility / shouldn't be nuking anyway / necros are godly. Yes, Druids take a big hit, sorry Druids who are currently dropping close to 1k wildfires on VP geared melees with the utility of sow / heals / buffs / ports / cheetah.

If you want pvp where every class has an equal chance against another go play wow, which btw I happen to and enjoy, but this is classic eq it's a different experience, and if classic resists aren't to you're liking maybe this game isn't for you. Not all classes are meant to kill all other classes. Casters shouldn't be engaging melees 1v1 in the open. Melees shouldn't be engaging casters leved up high and out of range. Rogues shouldn't be taking on warriors 1v1, enchanters shouldn't be taking melees 1v1 etc etc.

i think my monk could hit 180 MR with best possible gear in the game and forego every other stat/resist

unbuffed ofc

resists are for wussies.

are you serious or dumb?

1/20 roots currently will land with good MR which is even easier to come by in a group with a bard or MR buffer. Can you not handle that? Seriously? Learn to play bro.

Perfect example was the duo BotB. Not a single root landed the entire tourny. People who sat their casting it got owned. Stop the crying imo. There are more important matters like xp loss in pvp, YT, group xp, Tstaff op.

I'm sitting at 149mr on my rogue unbuffed. The only thing I'm really missing is a tranix crown. However that being said the amount of times I've been first cast rooted has gone beyond count. 1/20 is not even close to the amount of times root lands at that mr level, get your facts straight.

Everything about this guy's post is just clueless on game balance. EQ live is not a forced grouping game for PvP. There were far more people walking around solo PvPing on Sullon Zek than in groups at any given time during this era.

Someone claimed it takes 180 magic resist on here to get 95% resistant to CC? I had the best gear on the server on Sullon Zek on my monk pre-luclin with fungi, tstaff, epic, etc, and only had like 120magic resist at most.

Then you think it's OK for the months long leveling process from 1-60, for any jewish scumbags that walk around in a group of 6 attacking soloers with mage pets to just get free kills while the other person is perma cc'd in place? That's why this server has 0 population, because of clueless resist design (from null) and people like you.

Then you have Tstaff, mine (pre-luclin) on SZ never proc'd for longer than 3-4 seconds max, and sometimes it would only last 1 second or so. WHY the fuck does it last 18 seconds on here??? what the fuck?

Facts came right from one of the devs saying 5%. Dont remember who but I know its here somewhere.
And Tmoney, lol. Saying this is not a group pvp game. I am clueless? The only solo roam pvpers that were around were lone druids for the most part.


Came from Tmoney himself guys. EQ is not a group game. GTFO if you cant solo.
Also from Tmoney people like me (people who still play the game, don't grief, rarely use root, still does very well) killed the population.

It's a 5% chance of a spell landing regardless of resists. However like I said I'm only missing one piece of resist gear that I'm actually able to get my hands on. And that one piece wouldn't put me at 180 unbuffed.

You didn't need 180 unbuffed on live you only needed I want to say 125ish to become near immune to retarded shit like snare/root spamming.

[reddi lol]

U can have 900 mr and still get first cast land

Vlassic

Can confirm this. On live, there was a Pande twink named Belaggio (never trust someone named after a hotel, lil TZ inside joke for yalls where my TZ folks at). She jumped us at Orc Highway and I remember blowing an entire bar of mana, and our enchanter blowing an entire bar of mana, and landing nothing. She'd run around with 45+ druid buffs, so melees killed themselves hitting her (him obv). Literally was untouchable to a non-twink
