Spells: Resists don't seem fixed at all

[casdegere]

I have some to say about this as well involving Soothe, Enthrall, Disempower, Feckless Might, Languid Pace, Tepid Deeds, Sanity Warp, Chaos Flux, Root, Whirl.

I had a high quantity of Tashed(Tashani) resists with Dark blue (To level 24 and 25 Enchanter) Pickclaws. This along with the very poor Charm results, charming Green Grizzly Bears in Rathe Mountains.

It definitely appears that either Magic Resist is high or the spells themselves are checking lower to be resisted. I do not recall having such a tough time taking down a Dark Blue mob as an Enchanter on Live.

This is just frustrating me to no end. I'm getting massive resists all across the board. I'm a necro, and even on blue cons it's a nightmare. On live it was never like this.

The biggest red flag is the necros fire line. This line was extremely reliable and very very rarely resisted, as it was -100 resist check. Now I don't even use it because im getting massive resists that its impossible to maintain mana (as a necro?).

On blue cons just today I got 6 resists in a row on dooming darkness (and countless times on others)..........I gave up trying to land it. Fire line I got 5 resists in a row very common, I give up. So as a first on any of the necros ive played since 99, I actually unmemmed fire line and the only dot im using at toll booth guards is vampiric curse. This is a major problem. I'm not even using dooming darkness anymore on these guys because its so resisted that it drains my mana bar........im using lvl 12 engulfing cause atleast the recasts dont cost me as much.

Casters as it stands are crippled. Miserable time as a caster now, guess I should have gone monk.

Level 51 Neco. Killing a mature wyvern. Resisted Dooming Darkness 5 times in a row. Has happened on devouring feaster and pretty much everying in zone. Seems like the resist issue is now more wide spread than it was before.

Resists do seem a little off. Ensnare is resisting quite a bit. Multiple resists in a row on dark blues. I've had my swarm dot resisted on tashed dark blues more than a few times. Before recently I've never seen a swarm dot resist ever unless the mob was 100% immune to magic. I think the problem is mostly on mid to higher end dark blues.

Oddly enough my enchanter friend is landing fears and getting long charms on the same stuff no problem.

In the final analysis, there is one thing that both players and devs should remember. Classic Everquest had resists that occurred with some level of frequency. There were even "uber-resistant" mobs that cropped up now and then. The goal here should not be to eliminate resists or even the occasional mob that is untenable or nearly so. The goal, as always, is to reproduce the classic experience. It isn't that resists are bad - they are part of the success formula of EQ, i.e. game play should be challenging and provide a degree of danger in order to maximize the fun. The problem here is that resists are currently TOO challenging, which cuts into the fun.

Especially considering the druid swarm line should be essentially unresistable, similar to lifetaps.

I am hoping this becomes a high priority to get fixed, nothing worse then having Kunark open but not able to play my character to relive those great zones.

[ironfist]

today alone 5 life drains in a row was resisted , on top of 2 snares and 2 dots . Also few other of my friends has had the same issues

[Uthgaard]

I'd like to see more details on where people are getting lifetap resists. Your level, the lifetap used, and the mob name&con color are sufficient. It seems like people are occasionally getting resists where the mob is inside the level limit.

[Marrhault]

Uthgaard, you think this is an underlying link between the various resist issues? Or are spells resisting like they should across the board (aside from lifetaps)?
