Game Mechanics: Max Resist Cap should be 255

[Nirgon]

Comments from a raid guild in September 2000 without them disputing it is good evidence to me, bub.

Again display vs effect gained... mentioned in the comment I posted.

They'd go over 255, then suddenly get hit 100% of the time by things.

There were definitely theories on live that pvp resists over 255 were actually rolling over and decreasing your ability to resist spells.

i have proof from a forum from 2000 that shows that neg cha helped necros fear better. no one said it didnt so it must be true.

your logic wins

[Nirgon]

This comment is from a raid guild posting from provable experience, not some guy on zam saying he thinks he heard or thinks he noticed negative cha stuff.

I have proof from forums that an anti-camp raidus is in effect

i have proof that jumping increased distance when fleeing from a mob

[Nirgon]

Jumping does do that though and strafe running reduces the range a mob can hit you by about 1/3 (classic too not just here).

I'm not contending necro CHA, I believe its proven to only work for enchanters although it would make sense that it SHOULD effect charm spells of other classes. I know it mattered for enchanters on live, not sure on the others.

Tell me you really think or can find raid strategies saying to get 400 magic resist to be immune to Venril Sathir tap in Kunark. That shit is cray.

cha here has no benefit with necro and charm mechanics, fact its not classic, necros have there own secret resist modifer when it comes to charm according to nilbog

cha is SUPPOSE to affect necro charm but here it does not

/not classic?

[Nirgon]

This is about the 255 resist cap where an experienced raider specifically reports the issue and instances of it happening to his guild.

Show me proof of someone in Kunark saying "get 400 resist" for anything, especially as a way to be immune to VS tap.

This shouldn't be a terribly complicated change to implement and would make things much, much more classic.

This Shadoo thread would be going to exact same way without that DB shot. /shrug.

[Silo69]

you cant get 400+ resists without a bard in your party...

why are you so mad at bards?
