Poll: Are MR spells too difficult to resist in PvP?

[azo313]

Your honest opinion?

[Lazortag]

MR is okay but really should be made more effective, especially at higher amounts. Even when I have 194 MR people will try to spam root me because they know that the low chance of rooting me is the only way they can have a chance of killing me. At 194 MR on Live people wouldn't even try to root you because it was functionally impossible to land.

Also, earth pet root needs to be fixed. I don't know if this was ever formally bug reported but at your base MR it's almost unresistable, compared to regular root which seems to resist 10-20% of the time.

I agree.

Null already knows how I feel about his resist system.

I'm not a fan of how it has changed solo (1 on 1) pvp, where I'm going to be spending at least half of the fight using pumice stones now. In group pvp I just jump on the rooted caster.... and then probably get rooted right next to him (YESSSS, EVERYONE IS ROOTED)


People would spam CC spells in classic even with a < 5% chance of hitting them, so that should give an idea of how powerful they are. I liked how it was in classic, which was where you'd only see it land with any consistency if the player was debuffed (tashania, malo, etc) or wasn't wearing resist gear.

I believe Mr Null is well aware

Good thing he's a big boy and can filter through the feedback/bitching of players. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]



I think this stuff does need to be talked about a lot though, because the devs aren't going to be actually playing on the server regularly with their own code.

wizards vote no


amirite?

[SearyxTZ]

Wizards are stronger in solo pvp here than in classic, but from my limited experience so far I think casters get screwed even harder in group pvp - because if they get rooted they are fucked.


If I was a Wizard I would rather CC be a non factor (like it was on live) and just rely on positioning + nukes.

Maybe it's different at the high-end where people are running 150'ish MR. I don't know. I'd like to hear from those players.

Im sure a wizard would rather root you then rely on postioning...again i only have 100 sv magic and resist most roots~ Classic people got rooted...it happens.It does land that on me that often....
