Null: I for one like the way resists are currently.

Meele are powerful and will only get more powerful as time goes on, its good that 90 percent of a casters spellbook is not useless in pvp here. Your most recent adjustments to root/snare are enough. Stick to your initial vision for red resists please. Just fix bolt spells though.

Fixed.

Just you now dawg.

Have fun whirl spamming and laughing at people or root spam being a viable tactic. EQ Classic PvP is spinning in its grave.

I second this.

The only other thing I think should be looked at is dragon AoE, no partials at 150-200cr/fr for duration of fight makes the resistances futile, and strategies then rely on dps bursting and lots of pets, each typically doing 90% of PC raid dps; none of which is particularly classic.

Back on live having resists in the 150ish region on dragons would bring down the aoe from 500 to about 270 average (personal experience), making melee useful not a liability.

You're doing something wrong then. You'll get partials at 200 FR against Naggy just fine, but keep in mind it won't happen often because Naggy is level 55 and the max level is 50. You don't need pets at all to kill Naggy, he can be done with less than 3 groups even if you don't dodge the ae's (and if you wall the ae's then it's even easier - just time it so that your melees go behind the wall before he casts lava breath and you'll only need to focus your heals on the main tank).

its not too bad, but when i do pvp, half the time my ass has been handed back to me, and resist on some pve mobs half the time are horrid, but hey we wanted eq pvp and they opened up this server

, lets not pout too much or they may just unplug it and not even care about eq pvp, and say hey you wanna play classic eq, go blue, so lets tone it down peeps

this server isnt that bad and i feel if more people played, it'd be in better shape, though i have seen more tanks/dps classes out there

I appreciate your openness about the system. I know its tough perfecting a system that no longer exists with very little old data to accurately recreate it with. I'm just speaking from my experience. I know how it works now, believe your figures represent the r99 system, but simply saying the way resists and spells are atm is just not like it was on classic though the last patch made it closer.

The pvp resists here are not intended to be classic.
