FIX RESISTS

[Wolfgang]

the thing about eq pvp is that is so far from balance its redamndiculous. its the beauty of eq pvp. so roll with a group or expect nothing less of getting raped.

example, mage earth pet at low levels will plow through just about anyone and keep them rooted. this is assuming mage and victum are both untwinked.

I hate to even get into it again, but... Ironically, elemental/pr/dr are the complete opposite problem of the issues with MR line spells.

Main reason I have no desire to play my wiz is because half the people left have poopsocked resists and roll in crews fully buffed. Nothing wrong with either of those things, but on this server it means my ice comets hit for 300s and shit. That means if i have a minute to cast 5 ice comets, I might be able to kill someone with resists permitted they don't just heal or get healed while spamming me with /say lol. Fire/cold nukes doing a static 40-60% less dmg is not classic. Resists results were not static numbers. Even with 250+ (which no one has unless they dedicate every slot to a certain resist and pop pots), you wouldn't reliably resist the same amount of damage every time like you do on r99.

Pumice is great if you can get away with it, but anyone without clickies to prevent dispel at this point sucks and is barely worth killing. So... that leaves you running from priest classes or farming wands 24/7 if you want to do damage as a wizard.

No thanks.

Not sure how you can complain as a wizard, if you have access to the planes you are easily one of the best solo pvp classes (with conflag wands being very common and very powerful, plus the best nukes). Also resists aren't nearly as powerful as you make them out to be, even with 100 FR/CR I rarely find myself getting significant partials. Compare that to how effective 100 MR is.

I got plenty of logs fighting people with resist gear where I go oom on a single target before they die. You dont know wtf you're talking about as usual.

probably between 1700-2100

This shows the total damage for Wizard with 2000 mana casting Ice Comet / Conflag / Rend until they run out, this doesn't factor in mana regen or leftover mana (I assume whatever is left is for utility spells). Used 1000 casts per resist level

Ice Comet (this would be about 1/5 less for anything less than 2000 mana just fyi)
3690 @ 50 CR
2845 @ 100 CR
2005 @ 150 CR
1505 @ 200 CR

Conflagration
3256 @ 50
2488 @ 100
1688 @ 150
1344 @ 200

Rend
3605 @ 50
2744 @ 100
1925 @ 150
1477 @ 200

Does this seem unreasonable?

need a readout on flamelick dmg Null.

edit: oh and hai null, nicest developer we gotz.

[Seaweedpimp]

Idk null, allways remember magic based being easier to resist surely than an ice or fire, you should be getting more numbers with ice comet than rend, conflag feels right to me.

i realize your average player will likely have an average MR higher than fr/cr, just dont see how youre landing 1477dmg worth of rends at 200 mr ( should be like 900 imo lol) And only landing 40 more damage over all using ice comet also at 200cr(edit[You must be logged in to view images.
