Spells: Resists dont match up to live

That's bad. With 84 MR, 60% of the time any caster can simply root and kill melees. Once rooted, there's nothing they can do about it except stand there and die. There needs to be a counter for it other than getting 200+ MR. Yes, I know there is pumice, but melee's have zero channeling.

Any equal level cleric, druid, wizard, etc. can kill my melee character quite easily. In many cases, even a lower level caster can easily root / kill any melee.

It's far from balanced.

Like perhaps a high chance of breaking from taking damage?

High chance? Seems like a pretty low chance. Not to mention, since roots land so easily who cares if it breaks? 2 seconds later you are rooted again. Melee's stand no chance against casters on this server.

Even with resists set up as they were on live, melees stood no chance vs casters in classic. A pure melee will never kill a caster unless the caster allows it to happen.

World of Warcraft can't be the model for your resist system in Everquest. Resists have to be a lot more meaningful here.

There is about 10% difference between what we have here, and functional immunity to most CC abilities. Hardly WoW based resist system.

Welcome to Everquest PVP, est. 1999.

P1999 red is simply far from classic. I'm fairly certain any level 50 wizard on a corpse run can kill any melee that's full geared even with 100+ MR.

No other MMORPG with PVP has spells like root that completely disable a player for the duration of an entire combat, seems ridiculous.

That isn't the intent here either.

People are consistently planted in the ground for the entirely duration of a fight, getting melee'd and nuked without the ability to move?
