pvp in classic EQ was better than it is here. If you didn't play there, you wouldn't know. Most of you didn't even play there, or weren't old enough. Then the other half of you against MR seldom even pvped here or reached max level. There didn't need to be changes to the classic system, thats the fact of the matter. Casters were still a threat and perfectly viable in pvp even up to the end of velious when melee became so beast. A good caster didn't need to rely on root. Knowing how to play your class and not let melee beat your face in was always a good strat. It can be here too.... or we can just leave root spam in as the primo tactic!

Lol at someone dying to chain root. Someone buy this bluebie some pumice.

lol @ samwise not playin for months not being max level and knowing it all

[canardvc]

As if being max level had anything to do with knowing anything.

"Recommended Resists by Order of Importance:
1. Magic: 160-180+ (minimum 140) At this level it is exceedingly rare to be snared/rooted but it occasionally happens when tashed/maloed. Most magic DDs will be resisted totally or partially. Normal mezzes should be resisted.
2. Heat: 140-180+ (minimum 120) Many classes use fire, and it hits hard.
3. Disease: 130-160+ (minimum 100) Most useful against Pox of Bertoxxulous. Pox will stick a good bit at 80 and the surrounding range. Insidious Malady is highly difficult to resist and will decrease disease resist by a lot. It takes 2 charges of SHM cure disease potion to cure and is fast casting. PoB takes 2 charges as well.
3. Poison: 120-140+ (minimum 100) Most useful vs. Envenomed Bolt (ebolt) and Bane of Nife. Same success rate as PoB, perhaps a little lower.
3. Cold: 120-140+ (minimum 100) Not used very much. Shaman nukes and bracer mostly, occasionally druid, rarely wizard. "

this guy ran around with 140 minimum but suggests up to 180+, his guide is huge and a good read. I actually linked it when i first started playing but noone commented. anyhow his suggestions seem to fall in line with what is needed here to be safe from CC.

post was made in 2001 but author said he quit at luclin so all of this pertains to kunark - velious era. lets see some evidence to support your claims instead of your "war stories"

another quote in thread from a response, " I found 140 MR and 120ish FR to be plenty against the overwhelming bulk of spells I faced at 60. My other resists simply didn't matter." these guys must have played a different everquest live than the whiners here.

bc the melee catchs up cuts off caster and stabs them in the mouth or goes and attacks someone else nearby

i know jousting is a hard skillset that no one on this box possesses but its a++ fun

ahh a hint of that classic pvp nostalgia. have yet to experience anything close to that on this fucking disgrace of a pvp server.

Nilbog already told you that the red server is Rogean's and he is the guideing hand behind it.

Once again, stop claiming you were hoodwinked:

He should guide his hand like a fist to rogeans face

Post from April 2001
"Paladins all come down to MR and snare/blind and disarm. A good paladin will try to root, blind and stun. with 100+ MR, you will resist 90% of them and scare the crap out of them

Only class I truely fear is a shaman. I hear that they can kite AND tank you if slow hits

I respect monks/war only as far as their poison resist gear. IF you have your ripost disc up, use the root+haste poison and stand there and watch them kill themselves on your 100% ripost.

Note: Biggest complaint from melee and most casters when dueling a rogue- "They keep moving around, I can't him 'em"

I'll take that one

another from april 2001,

"If the Rogue has 130 of every resist, Jboots against a weak sow, and 30 dispel items in his pants that he uses like an expert, he'll make short work of the druid. Or a necro."

I see a ton of posts with 120+ being safe from snare and most roots. I'd say that's about the same here according to OPs test results.
