R99 - 'Improving' Spell Casting

The per-spell tweaking that we are starting to use actually uses those same fields in the database (but we overwrite the values with ones we specify.)

Great! Thanks, Alecta.

This wasn't until Planes of Power, when people were able to max resists.

Yes to all these.

Definite no to LOS on spell land.

As far as damage spells, the resists should be between our current (r99) and classic (live). Pretty much right in the middle. Classic (1999-2001) was fine until everyone realized how and where to get resist gear. Then by velious (esp the end) casters sucked.

I understand what Null was trying to do, but he went too far away from classic to the point that it changed the way EQ pvp was intended to work. Allowing players to have a chance to resist spells without having to stack a single resist in every slot allows for more variety, promotes longer fights and tactics and gives the server a much more classic feel.

they are now trying to set things classic.. so enuff custom bs
plz alecta ignore this guy and keep it classic. u don't wanna be the next null

If everything is being made more "classic" can we get the stupid ass reduction to dots on moving, non-feared mobs removed?

Preventing druids and necros from snare kiting is about as unclassic as you can be. And, shamans get screwed the worst because every single dot they have except epic click has a DD attached that breaks root. Fixing the ability to duck out of spells would help too. Getting attacked at the beginning of a 16 second pet cast and not being able to even have a chance to defend yourself is bullshit.

I don't really care what you do to pvp because I do not attack people.

ya crack in your cornflakes this morning? You obviously didn't play 5 minutes of EQ live. Been trolling us this long Rydar, Trollborn, Crystalblue claiming all these EQ merit badges and don't know the fundamentals of the classes.

We didn't come here for

classic resists, 50% debuff bonus

100 pr should be more than enough to totally resist an ebolt 90% of the time, 100cr/fr is more than enough to partial 80% of ice/fire nukes.

Shouldnt need 200mr(currently what it is) to resist enc mezzes/bard mezzes. 100 mr should be more than enough for all of this.

I'm sure if you find the pvp values for most of these spells, its gonna look around the values above.

I'm sitting at 170mr on my warrior and a bard can keep me mezzed forever.

Hi I new here player old eq fun time

You seem like a gay

[Lionfish Roundup]

heres my feedback, last time I played my cleric I camped blue diamonds and diamonds in seb for a couple weeks,

I got all my gear + fungi tunic + all other resist pieces and never resisted anything or took any partials. , I just blew up and died

then I sold my cleric.

Resists are broken btw

what does the enchanter do after you're able to resist mes? resort to harsh language?

Enchanters Tashan gave a lot more vs players than vs mobs.
Shit was decent and made it not as miserable.
