Lifetap and Harm Touch spells should be unresistable

[funry]

Feel free to wayback these... it never changed from unresistable:
Lifetap: https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/spell.html?spell=38688
Harm Touch https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/spell.html?spell=17042

Patch notes: https://everquest.allakhazam.com/history/patches-2001-1.html

- "Harmtouch" is now resisted as if it were a "Lifetap" spell, meaning
that it is all-or-nothing, and nearly unresistable with exception to
encounters that are immune to magic or out of the acceptable level
range. In addition, maximum damage for Harmtouch has been increased
starting at 40th level.

I know this was an intentional custom change, made a decade ago on p99, to combat people using ivandyr hoops for trak/raids. It's no longer applicable and should be reverted. This is a pretty bad nerf to necros and shadowknights.

And harm touch should do as much damage as the caster has HP the way lay of hands heals that much so it's fair.

Oh this is a bug thread. Sorry I thought we were complaining.

Never mind. Mine is just a complaint.

Here is the patch:

The lifetap resist change really should be reversed. If anything, why not remove this item from the game rather than nerfing two classes because people abused it? Seems like an odd decision.

Also, here is another thread talking about this as well. They discuss how lifetap was unresistable in classic.

The unholy aura disc changes SK harm touch to a disease save, supposedly making it nearly unresistable, yet even with the discipline it never lands. This is the same with Gangrenous Touch of Zum'uul. Harm Touch resists 10x more than it lands on anything that isn't lower level than you.
