Proposed Resist System Changes - Lucy

[SamwiseBanned]

A 40 bard with good instruments can easily give you an additional 100mr and selos for that matter. GMR adds another 55 plus you base 25 MR. So without a single piece of resist gear you can sport around 180 mr. yes its situational but its something you could easily take advantage of. you are trying to balance MR around 1v1, melee vs druid, outdoor situations which is redonkulous. btw Nihilum has 3 main bards that I can think of at the top of my head. Dekadenz, Punk, and Tune. Where the hell are these guys when Nizzar and Destin are getting greifed by root, I have no idea, but clearly they have the gear and the players to run around with CC immunity.

my fav part about the root/cc problem is there are counter measures beyond MR that can be taken as in pumice/crim pots, wands, and a novel of pvp tactics that can keep you from getting "mass rooted"

But you say it never lands anyway. Kinda stuck now aren't ya?

You really couldn't tell I was introducing a hypothetical situation? This makes me sad.

Everything you've said in this thread is hypothetical.

When you've actually logged in (in the last 6 months I mean) and become part of this community, plz post your findings/opinions.

Nirgons entire arguement is based on theorycrafting and what he remembers to be classic and therefore "balanced"

who is this directed to? hard to follow ya man. one minute you are talking about quading raptors he next minute about velious loots. ADHD is strong with this one (not saying thats a bad thing).

Nice stretch trollborn, I expected you to say that. Unfortunately for you the classic item loot and resist systems weren't hypothetical or just thrown together and an afterthought.

Sam you say root never lands then you defend this change so strongly.

Guys, it isn't just me. Zyrino, Kringe, Destin and others are all classic players and agree with me. This isn't some system that I invented. It worked. If you think enchanters suck in pvp consider how useful melee haste buffs are or being able to fear pets? I'm done arguing with the two of you.

I'll log in for some classic EQ here when it is classic EQ here.

Lolwut I said root doesn't land on people who actually weAr mr gear in pvp (tehruoh, wakawakA, ect). I never said it doesn't land but with my 72 mr I resist it more than half the time. Everyone is exaggerating it here not to mention the magic first cast theory based on 2 partials logs from destin. I'd be nice if this thread provided empirical data, SS, you know facts instead of tall tales discussing the balance issues instead of the "not classic" areguement

[Nirgon]

Bitter pill to swallow.

Esp when I saw that and realized I would have to come forward, say it and agree with it.

:/

Root was in fact a non issue against players with any kind of resist buffs/gear in a classic system. It is known.

Unfortunately the 20+ posts I've read from safe house and wayback machine suggested mr have ranged from 100 to 140 minimum

Perfectly balanced, resists dont even matter at all, CC doesnt last long enough and is on a terribad CD. Also you can be one shotted just like here. Go play a rogue there and you will be able to just kidney punch and cheap shot your way to victory.
