Resist Feedback post 11/6/2011

If we're going to screw with resists, casters gear AC should count 5x it's AC against melee to equalize melees easy means to mitigate casters damage. Currently, no matter how ya slice it, melees win in the end.

I saw Vaporize, probably one of the better geared Wizards on the server, get ganked(he plugged) by a blue gimp geared warrior the other day. That same warrior I tried to root while he was naked and it wouldn't land.

Casters already have half the HPs of melees and unlike melees, they can get half their HPs removed just by dispelling them.

True that bro wizards have it hard here and shitty geared warriors roll them all day.

Theres already a way to neutralize melee damage. Its called moving.

Any updates on resist system? Too many regular spells landing making ppl feel tough.

lol I notice these, I just never say anything

50 vs 50 no target rings is hard as fuck to stay on good evading targets, esp with all the AONS and shit.

Hector just /targets me and nukes me down within 30 seconds with raid buffs. If he wanted to golem wand me down to my base 1900 hp first, I would likely be dropped in about 2-3 nukes depending which he casted. That's a BIS resist gear rogue mind you, if I were a noob like my mage, he's rolling at around 1300 hp unbuffed and would be dropped in 10 seconds.

Anyone who played live knew fights wouldn't be people dropping like fly's, rather long drawn out hours of fun/retreating/coming back etc etc - this will never be like live though, and the resist changes wouldn't hurt the current Nihilum stomp at all anyways so who really gives a fuck.

Today at level 14 I got blinded 4 out of 5 times with 78 mr with a level 17 pally casting flash of light.

On live back on RZ I resisted flash of light with 45 mr from just about everyone.

Yeah, hopefully we can resolved this resist issue soon.

Spells always have had a 5% chance of randomly landing. So dragon being snared/stunned/rooted once out of 100 is more than ok.

Here is the bottom line. We've been doing fine with the same resist code for quite some time. You win some, you lose some. You just cant get over the fact that you need a higher skill to win vs people who, well, know the game better than you.

Cwall, I don't think you are self proclaimed most pvp solo melee. You always had someone with you 80% of the time. Unless you went to camp noobs (quite often).

Stories get skewed so much by ego its pretty hilarious. Again, fact is jack, we dealt with it, BW dealt with it, Doomfist has dealt with it, and yet here you are crying about a stun landing every now and then.

My input, if it isn't as obviously stated, is the resists are fine. I think you need to re-evaluate your choice on gear to compensate for you lower play style.
Remember boys, this isn't live. It's a progressive server built by incredibly awesome people. The goal is to balance pvp. A cleric (me) landing 1 stun out of 9 casts (which costs about 1000m) should be acceptable. It's a risk that sometimes pays off.

ROFL

Silikten crying about resists but when hes on top is a huge proponent against resist change is comical beyond all belief..... Kid is toxic on any server..
Cries for change when it doesn't benefit him..
