Status on patch?

[Haynar]

I look about 4 or 5 times a day to see if Beta is up. When it comes up it should have latest pvp changes.

I think resists are on the low side, where its pretty easy to resist spells. Maybe too easy.

Debuffs are tougher to scale. I kind of like keeping resists on low side but making debuffs brutal. As in they actually debuff more. And have big neg resist adjusts to make landing easier.

I will wait to see the general opinions on the feel before what i hope to be the last round of tweaks prior to going out to red.

Sounds like a good plan. Debuffs need to be mean something. I know I don't pvp but as I said before I am sure you won't stop at red, if you figure out resists on red you won't be able to stay away from blue. Although on blue debuffs shouldn't have too big of a neg resist (Malo withstanding, as it always had a -neg resist), Mage debuffs and even Malo SOMETIMES needed Tash to land. It is why I carry a Tash stick around even if its not needed. When Velious comes you will need a tash stick if you plan to solo dragons in EW. BTW Lodi does not need tash stick to be soloable by shaman. This is a good test to see if resists are right Lodi should resist most if not all but Malo should land and everything else should resist essentially, even after malo has hit. Although once malo'd Epic should stick 50%+ of time and with tash should stick 75% of time. With Disease insidious malady should allow disease dots to land, although even with malo and tash poison/cold/fire/magic should resist 75% of time.[You must be logged in to view images.

P.S. Lodi was one of the most resistant bastards in the game, that is why I use him as a example. Lesser mobs should be exponentially easier to affect then Lodi. He was insanly MR but yet was still soloable by wizards, druids, shaman, and enchanter. After Tash and Malo Lodi should be slowable 50% of time, without tash 80% resist on slow.

How? I only know of SHM soloing him during velious, later on it was easy due to the 32k hp charmeable turtle, but that was way after velious.

How would a wizard solo him? Can you lay out the strats?

Perhaps a BiS druid or ench could do it, no way for wiz with summon kiting.

A 5k mana wiz can cast 11 sunstrikes, lets make it 12 with some regen added. Thats still over 13k damage short, and this is chain casting the most efficient spell?

ps. I remember having to malo it, then having to stick malosini, in order to keep up slow. Would guesstimate 50% resists after Malosini. Camped that fucker a lot [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

He could be soloed by a 65 wiz for sure. Not a 60 wiz though.

He was very resistant indeed, ensnare would take many casts to land. Slow was the same deal.

Also I dunno what you're talking about Belk, when you are saying Tash resists. Tash is unresistable.

And I haven't seen any posts of shamans soloing Lodizal until after Luclin. When you could horse regen and got better buffs/gear.

Its doable with good stuff like vindi BP, BCG, epic, jbb .. at 60. Gathu started it.

Wizard was a mistake, I was drinking rum. Enchanter is what I meant. And yes Malo + Malosini helps greatly with landing slow. Tash stick even better. Lodi is not an easy solo but with Torpor+Spot heals you should live long enough to land it. Once slowed hes easy. Just have dog dog beating his ass and try to keep epic up.

P.S. It was a long time ago so I guess I was mistaken. I thought the little turtle buddy was there at launch which would allow charmers to kill him.

Shaman could solo him before horses, I know because I did. Just gotta get that slow on him and face tank with dog beating his ass and epic dot.
