I don't have any logs of stream of acid:

"Stream of Acid"

Spell cast on you: "Your body burns as the acid hits you"

So I remember on live there was an issue that spells with a DD + some duration debuff were unable to critical blast. I don't remember them being all or nothing type spells. That's possible though. Looks like the skeleton nuke for Necros is supposed to function like that.

Stun nukes though shouldn't because there's no determintal debuff component with a duration. But Chaos Breath is landing for full basically every time as well.

Bump.

Spells that give a debuff will always be full or resist. You will never see a partial Hoshkar AS.

Did you ever try to resist him? I used to get plenty of partials around 220 DR. Or has the resist system changed since 255 cap was put in?

I'm hardly a VP veteran, but in in 2 engages with Hoshkar at 255 Disease resist, I resisted nothing at all, took full damage every AE.

Problem with being a veteran is sometimes things change and your input is worthless. Ill try to look for old hosh logs but it might not be the case anymore. The ae was rediculously hard to resist in any case (not entirely sure being over 255 doesn't lower your resists /tinfoil). Getting 1 1500 hit softened or nulled made carrying a full DR kit through kunark seem worthwhile.

always thought this was put in to prevent people from 6man vp drags

[Daldaen]

Would love to see someone 6-man these Dragons who regen 5% a tick lol.

The resist rate on the AEs listed is abysmal, not even worth swapping in Fire, or Disease on Nexona/Hoshkar since they are basically unresistable for all intents and purposes. Xygoz again, not worth swapping in MR to attempt to resist silence.
