Resists and Melee

Hitbox feels exactly as it should. It was really small and annoying back then and you had to run in front of whoever you were chasing in order to consistently hit them. It wouldn't be a fix, it would be a custom change that conflicts with the classic goal. The only thing the devs should freely change is the ruleset, not core game mechanics.

how about spell casts on players higher than you?

My limited results indicate that it looks about right. I'm getting something like a 3/4 resist rate on snare and similar spells against people who are within range but high enough to con red. That's with basic 25MR. Not enough testing to consider it solid feedback yet, though. It pretty much feels like casting on a red mob, and that's how it should be.

Gotta disagree. When you can strafe circle a melee for better than 5 minutes and not get hit...something's wrong. Was funny to outjoust the same melee on a cleric, tho. Yah...he kinda sucked.

Hit box shouldn't be huge, but should be a little bigger than it currently is.

Any bigger and it'd just be stupid.

this guy has some serious evidence here dont mess with the hitbox that looks huge to us pvp champs (and who plan on playing melee on live)

I know its a bit early for this since pretty much everyone is under leveled and/or naked but I figured I would get this post up sooner than later.

In general I am looking for opinions on how things feel or what doesn't seem to be working. Flat out bugs should still be placed into the PvP Bug Forum but general things like 'some spell lands too often' or 'some other spell doesn't last long enough' are welcome here.

Here are somethings I already know about, feel free to post about them though:

• Root and Snare seem to resist a lot on lower level players (or is it all spells?)
• Melee hitbox seems too small, making it very hard to hit moving players.

Somethings I would like to hear about, some of which is probably a little early to get good info on:

How are partials feeling?
Are dribble rates good enough?
Is anyone having trouble with 3 point shots?
And pretty much everything else...

Please...Please be sure to include any relevant info like levels of players involved, approximate stats and player names so I can hunt your ass down in game and ask more direct questions if need be.

Thanks Dregs.

this shamn doted me like 6 times so that's not being resisted...

at 24 i was getting casted on by Light blue and blue (people) - Blinds (2/5) and nuke dmg i received seemed pretty decent.

I was trying to gank this monk (con'd red) last night and he had a red druid with him. I was level 10 or 11 at the time. They both had SoW so the druid was obviously 14+. He tried casting root on me a couple of times but I resisted with default MR for a troll shaman. The third one landed and the 4th, 5th and 6th as well. The resists seemed ok to me. With no way of dispelling roots until later, and with root/snare being an auto-win, I don't see a problem with the way it currently works.

The range for melee is pretty shitty. I have ~65 ping to the server and it is hard to hit people with melee when they are moving. I can only imagine how shitty it is for those with 150+ ping times. Like discussed in an earlier thread, I say the range be increased by 50-75% first and see how it is; but I think it really needs to be about 100% increase.

With the person at a low walk (running away with low hps) I have to be almost inside of them to hit them.

^^ Clutch info. Resists don't seem all that off honesty. Maybe a bit biased at the moment towards melee considering we are all naked and stuff is getting resisted. I was fighting a druid 1 level higher and was resisting 50-60% of the spells. I don't think a 10-20% increase land-rate would be too unfair(And I play a melee). I'm actually really happy with the resist system right now after playing a few pvp box's with resists being totally screwed.

I agree with the hitbox comment as well. You really have to be on-top of them or you get "Your target is too far away".
