Use your caster to farm plat and gear your melee just like everyone else has done on this server so you can play it on the supreme easy mode level.
1. Resist thresholds here are probably 20 points lower than they were on live. There was debate when this server opened as to whether any nuke could be completely resisted or could only be greatly diminished. Now you are completely immune at 150+.
2. Negative resist mods like on wiz spells don't work at all. Wizards were much more difficult to resist on live, not at all here.
3. On live higher resists lead to higher mitigation. Spells would land, but just for such low damage it was often pointless to cast. This is important because a group of casters could actually kill a high resist target with coordination. On here it is so easy to fully resist everything that becomes futile.
I know Haynar completely ruined PvP resists a few years ago, so I have to assume it was also his incompetence that lead to the current, super well thought out, 120 = zero resist to 150 = completely immune elemental resist spectrum.
I regularly landed high damage droughts on SZ in PvP groups where we could Malo/Mala the target. On here, it is so easy to resist that you can ignore anything but stacked debuffs and still take minimal damage.
Easier to resist + easier to get gear when raiding is only as complicated as scanning a wiki paragraph = good times for MeleeQuest
