Spells: Harm Touch Resisted.

[jjgerman]

Harm touch is routinely resisted by blues, yellows, pretty much everything.

Resist check is way off

blue mobs in unrest resisting harm touch easily still.

everyone knows this, no need for history /logs

Here's the patch change that makes it as you remember it sir:

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/hist...es-2001-1.html

- "Harmtouch" is now resisted as if it were a "Lifetap" spell, meaning
that it is all-or-nothing, and nearly unresistable with exception to
encounters that are immune to magic or out of the acceptable level
range. In addition, maximum damage for Harmtouch has been increased
starting at 40th level.

Sucks and I'm sorry : /. I had 2 SKs during Vanilla / Kunark and it would get resisted..

I think its safe to wrap this baby up till Velious.


This also goes in during Velious though:

--- Due to the recent improvements to "Harmtouch", it is doing much
more damage than it would before and unbalances PvP. As such it will
now do less damage in PvP (68% of PvE, down from 80%). In addition,
Shadowknights on the PvP servers were routinely killing themselves via
non-XP losing means and attacking other players with Harmtouch
immediately upon respawn. In order to address this situation, Harmtouch
is no longer automatically "recharged" by death on the PvP Servers.

it would get resisted VERY rarely even before that patch

not like here obviously, every other time u use it, gets resisted

Well if you're complaining about a full resist, OK.

Is harm touch an all of nothing spell? This I do not remember but may be the issue.

It worked pretty well pre-velious I think like you said, you'd hafta test it and post logs. I remember getting burned hard by SKs spamming egg shaped pumice->life leech->HT.

I do remember the 40+ damage change... which actually might have to be removed from here AND blue until Velious if it isn't doing 10 x level.
