Resists - Page 4

Resists are still VERY MUCH abnormally high. It's been a real damn drag. This coupled with the new mysterious 28-damage cap from 10-20 makes leveling anything from 1-20 really freaking difficult at the moment. Which is the biggest shame, because people who are even EXPECTING a rough classic experience will come here and find it WAY TOO HARD, then go play something else.

The 28 damage cap for 10-20 is classic from what I remember, and that was back in the day with an Axe of the Iron Back on a Warrior, during the Kunark era.

Only links I can find to support it are from 2003 and 2004, though, which I suspect will just get me flamed for sharing. >.>

You're wrong, it was 31.

I don't feel the need to be argumentative about a mere *THREE* damage, and since you don't feel like substantiating your point with any proof what-so-ever from any source, I'm just going to leave it at this then.

I'm not arguing with you, I'm correcting you... with the exact number of damage that you could hit for between 10 and 20 in live Everquest. I thought you would be happy! Enjoy.

Guys, why do the devs keep nerfing everything for no reason? This isn't how I remember it (but I can't find any evidence to the contrary)! They must hate us sooooooooooooo much!!

Fear kiting is fine so long as you're fighting lower level dark blues and is an order of magnitude more efficient than root rotting. (I would call this pure fail for a necro)

You can *almost* kill with 0 downtime fear kiting with pet (that you give 2 weapons to).

I do agree that grouping with a druid can be very rewarding though, and lots of fun.

You'll stilll be better off pet - pacting lower range dark blue cons than fear kiting them as far as downtime goes. And by default almost any fear-kiting scenario is not going to involve dungeon ZEM, which is a major consideration in 'efficency': spamming lower end blue mobs in OT isn't going to yield even remotely the same rewards as duoing with a mage/chanter/etc in mistmoore/karnors/CoM or whatever.

lol agreed.. dear god it's a spitting image reincarnation of classic, minus the patch days with ppl screaming in the sony chat rooms at the poor guides unlucky enough to pull CSR duty during the latest patch.
