Resist observations

Gate is literally impossible to interupt without multiple people either slamming or landing stun line spells.

For those unaware,

This thread was created because Socalist went 1v6 (by choice) and didn't think we would or could root him. Well we did and he died.

That element is actually classic. If someone had max channeling, you needed a chanter to stop the gate or someone to properly time a slam/bash.

Channeling is way too strong. I've watched people gate with full trains beating on them. Casters are just gateing out of dungeons with 15+ mob trains on them instead of running 300 yards to the zone line, they know gate will go off.

If fire/cold nukes are going to hit for max most of the time untill 100+ resists are reached, why was the pvp percentage reduction changed from 66 percent to 80 percent? We should be seeing more partials at 50, 60, 70 fire/cold resists if nukes have been "unnerfed" to hit for 80 percent of max in pvp.

There's the problem. Any PvP veteran can vouch for the fact that guaranteed full-duration root is retarded. There's a reason the original developers coded a tick check for early breaks and made it so people in resist gear never had to sit through full roots.

If you want spells to land more often than they did on live (which is obviously the intention here) then you can't also make those spells stronger than they were on live. Currently, the resist system does the following:

- CC lands more often
- Roots always last their full duration
- Nukes are harder to resist
- Various defensive spells are too effective, such as shadowstep

It all translates into a bunch of advantages for casters while melees get nothing, and are in fact a little worse off since the server has even more trouble calculating positioning and hitboxes than on live. For results, see the server's class distribution: 95% casters.

they made it so with 100 mr root never stuck bc... once ur rooted its over johnny ITS OVER

Disease DoTs need work. I can resist them 50% of the time and I havent even equipped my thex dagger from my level 3 halfling boss mesothorny.

No, but if you wanna keep believing that, go right ahead. Unlike Holocaust, I just want the best for the server. Noticing a root stick for 30 seconds through 5 melees beating me from 100% to dead is something worth bringing up, and not because it happened yesterday but because it happens fairly regularly (usually I'm on the other end).

Mostly I just wanted to inspect Stasis.

[Albane]

Root lasting full duration once it lands, with no chance to break early, is huge bullshit. But, as stated, most of the server casters and so the majority of the server will enjoy this.

For those of us who want PvP to be fun, challenging, and balanced, we understand why root had resist checks periodically.

So no instant pumices and no chance to break out of root early. What do you do as a melee against a caster?

You guys cry about 1 root let's meles kill you when 95% server is casters lol
