so they can dispel a GMR but not a root that lands 1/10 times. very interesting.

Out of 60 players online at 4pm est, 9 of them are melees. I wonder why???? Surely this resist system is successful and beneficial to all players! Everyone obviously supports it...

I've been agreeing with a lot of your points lately, but I think the more likely reason is that groups are hard to come by and melees can't do much solo

Unrootable at 51 mr as an even con might sound insane to someone who only played the VZTZ boxes, I know trust me. Hence the big fuss by the classic players here looking for that and not another one of those.

Yeah I figured I was going to have to help you understand the mechanics of offensive versus defensive dispelling.

Here's why dispelling yourself is harder, of ye of little thinking things through:

You're being chased by a train of melees and pets.

Root lands.

What happens?

Now, scenario 2:

You are assisting on a train against said person, you are trying to chain dispels. Harder to have a casted dispel finish casting than a root before the target gets out of range.

Or how about I'm a melee trying to pumice a caster? Alright fine no prob, I have a sow instead of jboots and I make some gains and land one, thusly removing their sow. Now consider you're the melee being assist trained, not casting many dispels from your pumice there are ya?

I can go in depth with this way more.

If you're going to try and say the classic pvp system didn't work at all or was stupid.. maybe you just want this turned into another VZTZ box like some of the others. Terrible [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

"Magic resistance (MR) is the most important stat. Look around for cheap MR items, and after you have about 100 MR (buffed), start getting cold + fire resist items (need 100+ in each to notice a difference), and finally disease & poison (need 50-60 in each to notice a difference). If a resist item has any +WIS, AC, or mana, consider it a bonus. Here are some of the more popular items for mid level shaman (many of these I still use at 50):"

Documented RZ legend suggests 100MR. Now why would he say that? Also this guy didnt have access to the gear we have and we are now in Kunark. Explain?

100mr buffed

Didn't I just try to teach you about dispells? Did you consider being tashed what it might be?

I think this is more due to the server population than resists. Just today someone asked what they should play and the first 3 responses are "a solo class" and not b/c they could be rooted in pvp.

still have yet to see one of you with 170 mr do a series of tests on roots. doesnt take but a minute.
