Fair or not is bull shit, make it classic.

I advocated this change since day 1 like a mad man and I'm a caster.

It's not classic and very stupid.

You're lucky that casters (except mages lol) cant' cast through walls.

Btw - lightning bolt should correctly be flagged as a bolt spell ; ). wink wink wink.

Agreed. Make it classic. I don't understand why this is supposed to be "classic EQ" yet for no good reason resists are completely changed. The majority of the player base wants classic EQ resists, and this poll confirms it. Why not give the players what they want?

When i can resist roots with 120 mr at least half the time, "red"99 might become a pvp server.

120MR gives you a 72% resist rate vs. root. Does that mean that Red99 is like, mega real?

On live this bought you 90+%

Classic Zek servers most people in full resist gear probably had under 7% chance to get hit with CC, although I'd guess that a small window was there no matter what where the curve plateaus (say 2-3%).

That resist system was fine, seeing as people still used it in pvp (since it is spammable + EQ pvp lasts forever) just for the off chance to stick it.


It's a worse game when you force in CC, and pumice/jboots are even more meta than they used to be. I haven't done Big Ass Raid PvP yet, but that assist-train-on-the-rooted-guy Amuk posted about sounds pretty shitty.

Hell even as a melee, I don't want to kill someone because he got spammed with root. The PvP I remember was I had to glue to people to kill them. Root was usually only a factor if I was going against enchanter or 60 shaman.

72% at 120 is extremely low, it should be more along the lines of 90+% like Searyx etc say... Its difficult for some classes to reach that pinnacle pre kunark (non plate/chain wearing classes of course)... That coupled with stun should be tweaked alittle.

72% isn't far off, just add buffs and it should be over 90%. Dispells and debuffs would bring it under 50% I am guessing?

Last 3 pvp engagements, I was rooted, snared and whirled with 120. Just so frequent its disappointing and leaves me not wanting to pvp. Whirl being the worst which ruins the fight and leaves you broken.

On live I'd have stopped at 80-90mr and then started focusing on other resists in general pvp.
