Spells: 100 MR to resist MR nuke. 350 FR to reduce FR nuke.

[Nirgon]

I mean call me crazy its just you don't strike me as someone who wants a classic ffa pvp server very badly.

Looking forward to testing Haynar's stuffs [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

And ... HEY. Null laid the ground work, Alecta fixed it up in some areas and Haynar's got the license to kill to change and fix away from here. That's at least how I see it. All of these men are saints.

I just reread page 1 to last during my days to get happy.

Moving to New thread to not derail.

Pretty funny that business as usual for retti, an incontinent pigeon of a poster who spends his days shitspackling the forums with stupidity and exaggerated nonsense, resulted in r99 finally getting some dev attention.

I guess if you keep crapping on a parked car long enough, someone's eventually going to wash it.

I'm the OP in this super thread. Feels goog.

did a few tests, 20 casts each:

208 fire, sunstrike, -10 modifier, 1082 max hit

resist

at this resist level(198 after modifier), i should be seeing pretty much only full resists and very low damage partials, with extremely rare high damage partial or full hit

150 magic, rend, 0 modifier, 525 max hit

at this resist level(126 after modifier) i should start to reliably see full resists, low damage partials, and some midrange/high damage partials, uncommon full hits

---------------------------------

in every case, the spells are simply hitting too hard too often, especially the frequency of max hits

tried testing resist levels and the nukes above at sub-100 resist values, but it seems to be almost exclusively max hits with uncommon partials/full resists

[Nirgon]

Sunstrike looks like it should be working as if the target has about 80-90 fire instead of 208 from that small sample. Draught of ice lookin like it could use a few more partials instead of max hits and it would be right for 90 cold.

Then again, Haynar said he got something else brewin' and this was the first round. So I guess we'll wait till he rings da dinner bell again.

One more thing is that I see this working out kind of like how ac/atk is going. We are given a better base set of code, and then tweak individuals and one offs from there.

that rend should have been resists across the board. no tash or malo no fucking landing

Ya shouldn't land at all. Rend should also have push back like shock of lightning if it does not already here.

I have more on channeling vs shock of lightning push type spells but I'm saving that for when channeling/push is visited in PVP. It might also actually shed some light on if things are working as far as being pushed vs channeling in pve tbh.

for haynar, to get a bit of a better idea with some more concrete evidence:

However by 50, our 500 point DD (retribution) is next to useless, it is so easy to resist. Most people you will be trying to kill with it, if theyre not completely inept, will be wearing a lot of throw away resistance gear. It only takes maybe 40 or 50 points of magic resistance and our spells will be doing next to no damage (maybe 100 dmg with luck, wont even dent a wizzie at that level).

also interesting find here:

One of the biggest, most crucial things I've learned is that our level 5 or 9 dd (i forget which, tho i think lvl 5) is called Furor...and it cost under 20 mana with a cast time of something like 1.5. This spell is amazing- it interrupts an opponents casting 9 out of 10 times as long as their backs are not to a wall. Unlike our stuns which I used to use to interrupt casters, this spell is almost never resisted and costs virtually no mana.
