Spells: Resists don't seem fixed at all

[Glitch]

"Fix" doesn't imply a good thing.

[Chicka]

I understand your meaning glitch but this cant be fixed as intended. I don't recall having to dump half a mana bar on one debuffed blue mob, while it beat on me, because it resisted everything - not in any expansion.

It doesn't help that sk taunt is still jacked up too - kinda dangerous to be a chanter these days. Dare I say, there is a dangerous glitch in the game right now.

level 51 druid, trying to just kite singles in burning wood and skyfire. The mobs are level 39-44 and I cant land one single immolate. I've tryed probably 10+ casts of this spell. Drifting death seems to work but will get a few resists (I've used conjuration dots my entire druid career here and have NEVER had a swarm dot get any resists until recently).

I can play in dreadlands at level 51 pretty normal but it's mostly light blues (or dark blues that are on the verge of being a light blue). It's incredibly frustrating when ther is a zone full of dark blues that I can barely root / dot or snare / dot, when I should be quad kiting.

I hear ya, I am now just using my druid to PL and port until this gets fixed, hopefully it will be soon.

Isnt druid dots like swarm and WD suppose to be like -100 mr mod aswell or was that added later? i remember it being very rare to get a resist the druid mr dots

[quenyar]

Druid swarm-type dots did indeed have a big negative resistmod, and my experience tells me that on most regular blue mobs you would get a resistrate of about 1/30. Immolate-type spells were very different, and I never used them in a place like Skyfire where mobs did seem to have a higher FR.

From 6 hours of the log file, camping blues, occasional even con, and the rare yellow (gnolls and chargers in SK @ lvl 30 necro). Simple grep | wc -l show:

Dooming Darkness Cast: 175 times
Dooming Darkness Resisted: 55 times (31%)

Clinging Darkness Cast: 77
Clinging Darkness Resisted: 27 (35%)

Disease Cloud Cast: 223
Disease Cloud Resisted: 75 (34%)

Right around 1 in 3 spells resisting overall.

Would you say then that the blue con mobs are roughly 1 level beneath you then? Do you have similar results when trying on level 25-ish mobs?

1-2 levels lower, yes. Does that mean that we're supposed to see 1 in 3 spells resisted when the mob is only 1 level below us? That still seems way too high.

I certainly wouldn't say that but I'm not a developer who would make such decisions anyway. I was merely pointing out that saying "dark blue mob" can mean a lot of different things at different levels so I feel that it's important to be as accurate as we can be about this.

At level 52 I'm pretty sure that level 38 mobs are still dark blue to me... but they don't resist my spells at all.

So don't get me wrong, I'm not attempting to discredit anyone's experience with resist issues.
