Fear/Charm

It would be nice if they could consider making fear work but with a max duration cap and a fear immunity timer. Same with charm.

It wouldn't land on anyone with over 100 magic resist anyway. If you are suggesting altering the EQ classic system to let spells like this work in PvP, then whats to stop them from doing other ridiculous things like when they had warriors crippling blow for 1000 on TZVZ with 30dmg 2h.

We're either having normal EQ PvP, or some crappy version of it like TZVZ that nobody likes except Knuckle and Rexx.

Another magical arbitrary 100 mr post. EQ devs wasted their time allowing mr go to past 100, since all you need is 100 and no more

And here's me linking magic resist parse during Luclin for the 400th time where 150MR equaled 87% resistance and how MR was significantly even more effective before the Luclin patch:

Oh, and after that parse was done, they released a new patch because it was too easy to kill pure melees with 0 channeling skill and made Magic Resist even more effective again:

"Spyder, looks like Verant didn't agree with you.

From the Sept 26th patch message:
Quote: - The recent resist changes have been adjusted for PvP. They will not be exactly as they were prior to the resist change, but they should be reasonable now. Please let us know if you feel they need further adjustment."

I know you're not the brightest Rust but what do you think.

that sounds like me and Rystar!

1) You mentioned luclin in a classic pvp server thread, lollers
2) you link a person post who provided no parse and liked to use definitive words like "about"
3) you posted a patch message saying resist change but gave no hard numbers but only changes that can be speculative.

So where are you getting this magical number that 100 mr makes you immune to mr spells? Can you link me a post of a eq dev saying 100 mr makes you immune to non lure/modded mr spells?

Still a useful post.

You're one of those people that played TZVZ and never paid for an EQ live account in your life right? This is like asking to prove that the sky is blue.

100 MR never made you immune to MR spells but it really was kind of the breaking point where you didn't have to worry about being rooted/snared/mezed anymore. It still happened maybe 1 out of 10 casts but usually if someone was casting snare 10 times in a row on you they were getting their ass beat the whole time so it never made sense to try for the 10% chance it would land instead of just nuking.

Yea, exactly, and if you look at the 2 graphs/formulas I posted, both have around 87-88% resist at 100MR. It's within 5% margin of error so I don't know what the hell there is to discuss about implementing it if this is supposed to be classic EQ PvP:

make it classic
