basic outline of proper classic era resistances

I plan on playing a wizard and even i think you nuke numbers are a bit generous.

Or the numbers are right but there should be one resist in that set.

Yes, nuking someone with 150FR five times and not seeing 1 full resist would be pretty rare. I think most people agree that nuking someone with 120-150FR will get you at least 20-25% full resists.

Another one before the resist patch change in 2002:

"because my FR is 160+ and non lure spells don't tend to hit me for much. Rapture, however, IS a lure based mez, and I only resist that when I have a crimson potion up."

The guy above is basically saying non-lure spells don't hit him at all with 160 resists.

This link from the year 2000 claims a 50% resist rate on ice comet with 120 cold resist: http://www.eqclerics.org/forums/show...88&postcount=5

Full resist rate was obviously much higher than 1 in 30 casts as mimix claims. Was at least 20-25% full resists with 120CR from my recollection.

When I PvP'd against druids on my monk, they didn't even bother casting nukes on me, just spammed dots over and over. I remember Darwoth nuked me for like 60-70% of possible damage one day and I looked at my screen surprised that it actually landed. Darwoth was the only druid that even attempted to use mana nuking me. That guy Amreet only cast dots every time. Same with Dharma on SZ (the #1 druid for a while?).

When I got nuked with 120ish resists, about 1/4th were full resist, 1/4th 30% damage, 1/4th 50% damage, and 1/4th 75% damage.

For some reason I remember sunstrike being somewhat rare on TZ - I remember Lightadam would cast it on me, and it was hitting decently - but most wizards were using lures a lot also. Never played one cannot be more clear then that - but I remember nukes hitting decently hard with higher fr/cr in Kunark.

Bump also for Devs to implement this resist system - Darwoths resist system ftw.

You are taking forum posts from the year 2000 with people half roleplaying, probably 45 year old housewives, as serious math. Please walk outside your basement.

Some of these rants about VZ and TZ resist system are creditable but no one mentions up to kunark there was item loot. People running around in no drop gear.

I dont care to state how hardcore or less the server is its just a game and all that matters to me is the fun aspect but under item loot the loss of high end resist gear does play a roll in how much is on your toon. Having to deal with unhitable healers from cross teaming sucked as well and this VZ and TZ bashing to me is pretty transparent. Bagging your best resist gear isnt always a option and btw once item loot happen I left EQ until Sullon.

If you wanna brag about your badassness in EQ pvp you can have the trophy but again all facts arent being present about VZ and TZ. Item loot would change the dynamic on how the resist system functioned.

P.S. EQ was never made for pvp and it isnt balanced for it and never will be.

Yeah, he sounds real credible... "lets say... lets say... might... could..."

Reads to me like he is pulling stuff out of his ass.

I found an actual wizard damage parse that occurred before the resist changes in Luclin. Posted in this thread:

I'm curious how many times we can prove Tardwoth wrong before he finally gets it that he is absolutely clueless and shouldn't be posting in the bugs section, or generally at all.

Quit gargling Darwoth's balls. If we get anywhere close to the general resist system that he posted, it would be a good thing.
