Changes to NPC resists?

[toolshed]

My friends and I were talking about the lower server population last night (~700) and this must be one of the reasons why. Any spell caster class is broken right now

There were some adjusts to resist based on level difference. They had a way bigger effect than intended. Changes were removed. Pending update.

There was also some old code left in there for a min resist chance for root and charm. That has also been removed.

Pending update.

I'll be really surprised if we don't see the update happening for the weekend. No worries here.

Looks like bear pits are near-abandoned. I can't even imagine how horrible Charm would be when I couldn't even solo a single raptor with root + clickies (but can still quad, thanks ensnare!)

I noticed this too, and frankly, it felt more like old pre Luclin retail than anything. I did a lot of leveling in places like Crushbone, Cazic-thule (love those lizards), Permafrost, and old lower guk. When people would form groups, they took a druid, bard, or ranger every time just for the snare. Once a mob would get down to the point where it would turn, if it was within a certain higher health amount for that stage, they would jam away at full running speed instantly. With those turns in dungeons (especially lower guk) it was instant death for the group.

The tragic thing about this change is that with the resists, Snare feels more useless than ever lol. It was a double whammy.

Fleeing speed is a little too fast, yes. But maybe it'll give people more incentive to group with those poor rangers.
