VZ/TZ 2.0 had a pretty good resist system, even earlier today when Salty brought 2.0 back my cleric had 85% of his judgements resisted on a SK with 160 MR?

On normal EQ, I could walk around with 100-120MR and resist every single root then a cleric like Frumpyfrank would run up and nuke me with Reckoning. Full resists from it seemed rare, probably 1/4th of the time it would hit for full damage, 1/4th for 75%, 1/4th for half or lower, then the last 1/4th resist.
Nukes landed easier than crowd control. At least cleric nukes. I don't remember about wiz and druid nukes because the druids would all dot me and the wizards would always be running for the hills.
That is the honest to god way it worked. I'm not sure how this was implemented. They might have just added an if/then statement and if a spell was cast on you with a nuke flag, it would get a resist bonus.

I had a suit of shitty MR gear in the bank. I don't remember exactly what all the components were, but it was stuff like the 7mr bracers. I never failed at an outdoor CR with my 120 gear.

Yea, I never got rooted once with over 100MR.

If someone claims that it took top end gear to resist snare or root during Velious or Luclin on SZ, he is either misremembering or didn't really play.

That would be Macken.
He wants to play a caster on the server and group with his 2 caster friends. I forget their names, maybe it was Xebeken? Wasn't he the guy that got banned for cheating? Anyway, what he wants to do is get a group of 3 casters then run around till they find solos, all spam root and nukes for free zerg rush kills. Can't get free zerg rush kills unless root works.
