Levels also need to be *greatly* considered when resisting spells.
Dragon fear should send basically every non 57+ flying. I had quotes that are long gone since sites are down where guilds say "don't come to Kunark dragons unless 57+" or "now that we're all 58+ we're downing them". Will hafta do the digging but .... 255 is cap pals. The 300+ stuff is like PoP era. I logged in PoP on a wizard someone had obtained to PvP and people were resisting Lure of Ro and rapture and shit, beating faces with Vanazir and lol'ing :P. | ||

would take a major rehaul of the spells system to go back to the old system -- When they changed resists they also changed dragon aoes to reflect that change.
not sure if thats even possible on this client. Would create a lot of problems and probably take 5+ patches to get shit right. At the rate we're getting patches(once every 2-3 months) this would break the game for almost a year. | ||

^ ill be submitting this Silo69 quote as evidence to the pixel crimes division. Chooses subverting the server for easier pixel gain over authentic classic.
255 was resist cap :P Source Quote:

Goofballs and weirdos on ZAM don't quite measure up to someone explicitly describing a raid strategy on a raid guild board during that era.

edit: it appears on live LOWER resists seemed to work better than higher? http://webcache.googleusercontent.co...&ct=clnk&gl=us
Seems that people resisted spells with 170-200 resist better than they did with 255. Obviously its true because I found it on an old post. Seems we need to fix this so I can bank some resist gear and roll around with 180 instead of 300+ edit x 2: above link disproves display cap of 255, since duirng velious people are posting comments regarding 300 resist, and person directly in thread says they display over 260. | ||

It can display more than that, but it won't use more than that.
Asked dev to explain, his answer regarding functionality: Quote:

I think the missing piece of the puzzle is something like you can only be effective up to a certain amount based on your level. I'll ask more. | |||||

I have a raid guild's board comments and deeper explaination from an EQ dev that matches this resistance behavior exactly.
Make 255 the cap and apply to all NPCs, its still MORE classic. And to Nizzar's comment, Uthgaard's formula doesn't consider PoP or classic or anything. It's a custom set that I find to be very lacking, ESPECIALLY considering players 57 and under. It's functional, and has rhyme and reason now. However, it needs to be steered closer as we approach Velious raid content. Aside, invis pulling and 255 resist cap need to go in before Velious lest we taint the sacred Velious pixels. This isn't asking for anything insane either. I can't recall a SINGLE dragon fight where all the 60s completely resisted every fear and aoe. Claiming such is just crazy. | ||
