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.

Resists do seem a little off. Ensnare is resisting quite a bit. Multiple resists in a row on dark blues. I've had my swarm dot resisted on tashed dark blues more than a few times. Before recently I've never seen a swarm dot resist ever unless the mob was 100% immune to magic. I think the problem is mostly on mid to higher end dark blues.

Oddly enough my enchanter friend is landing fears and getting long charms on the same stuff no problem.
