Spells: Malo getting resisted

I don't know how we are going to prove this to you. I don't recall anything ever resisting Malo at any range.

One would think that there would be discussions or mentions of mobs being immune to Tash / Malo in raid strategy. I know there are lists that tell you of snare/slow immunity and which type of spells land best on mobs but I have never seen or heard of tash / malo immunity.

I am seriously regretting giving away my EQMac account and my crapintosh when I came here.

When I have time I will try and gather more information on this.

This strategy is pretty much what shamans did in every guild on live.

Malo --> Malosini --> Slow --> Cripple

With more shaman duties were split. Anyone who raided with a shaman on live will tell you it was and has never been resisted.

Cast Malo(s) first because you are sure it will hold (unresistable). Now, if additionnal casters among your team/guild still report high resits, try to overwrite with Malosinia.

When we raid, we basicaly have 1 shaman dealing with Malo(s), 1 with Malosinia and 1 with Cripple for complete debuff. First 2 shamans cast on the same time their Malo***, then the 3rd one (casting Cripple) cast his spell like 2 secs later to be sure at least Malo(s) landed. The mob is then properly debuffed. At this time, get 1 shaman to cast an "alternative" (disease) slow then 1 casting the "regular" (magic) slow.

Conclusion : If you got at least 4 shaman in your raid and do this, you'll get your mob malo'd, crippled and slowed within the first 8 sec of the fight. This simple basic tactics work ok 90%+ of the raid encounters you'll face.
