FIX RESISTS

I'm talking from personal experience, I have yet to seen a partial on a Vox/Naggy here on red that makes it worth stacking resists instead of hp or worth sending in melee (without wall hoppin). Fear seems to also have a decent chance to stick even at 330MR, again you have to peel instead of resist, not as it used to be in live.

The resists on the raid encounter do not match classic, and more importantly encourage the use of pets due to easier charming here than classic. I mean its fine if this is the intended effect, but somehow I think the resist values are encouraging non-classic approaches to raid mobs. Is this what we want? or do we want dragons to be raided with the right numbers with resists, instead of the now encouraged 4x rooted pets brought up from the backdoor?

I think you've been playing p99 too long and have forgotten what live used to be like. There are differences, and they encourage certain types of approaches.

I'm just saying that the way you describe naggy is not at all accurate to how he is on p99, and that you've probably just been unlucky, or someone in your group isn't stacking resists right. I've probably been on more naggy raids between both servers (plus Ragefire and Faydedar who are naggy clones) - correct me if I'm wrong though - so I feel I can give a better account of how hard the fight is. For a level 55 mob the resists seem fine, I've even compared this to everlore comments because I remember before kunark on blue99 going through an entire naggy fight without getting hit by either ae, and thinking it must be too easy. You have a very good chance of resisting the fear at high levels of MR, less chance of resisting lava breath, but still some chance of getting hit even at insanely high resists because he's 5 levels higher than you. Also I fail to see how it can be a better strategy to use pets when pets have a much higher chance of getting feared than players, since you can't buff their MR as high with Bard songs. If you're walling the ae's so that the pets don't get hit, then do the same with your non-pets. And you don't even need to wall hop - last time I killed naggy we had 17 people, didn't wall the ae's, and didn't use a single charmed pet, so I'm thinking you just had bad luck.
