Thanks for explaining it.

We're in a tricky spot here though - it's the whole "difficulty of reaching that cap classic" - I don't think we have anything in game right now that isn't classic, although on live I never carried much more than 2x diamond rings and a set of blue diamond stuff around with me to mobs - so maybe it's just that we didn't need so much back then to be in a spot where resists were good enough. In fact, I'd say that 350-370 results is the old 200+ buffed/120 unbuffed sorta "feel" that I got from reading classic posts plus my own hazy memories.

I agree the 370 resists with a (0) modifier you're seeing are about what I expected for 255 resists. Not so sure about the -100/-150 modifier stuff though - altho your 250ish resists on eashen approximate what a 350ish person would have on a -100, not horrid. -150 might be another story though.

I am very concerned about stuff being too easy and us ending up with another Kunark situation. Absolute worst thing in the world is a bunch of people running around at 255 without a bard resisting most things. On the flip side you have what we see now and bards being required in most raid groups = a bad situation for guilds. Who knows, luckily we still have a bunch of beta left so there's time for all sorts of tweaks and for multiple runs on a mob in order to try to work with the resist system we have. I know my initial thought on Eashen was resists are broken, but our last run we made tweaks and the entire thing fell into place easily with 25 - we just needed a few runs to tweak.
