Resist System Feedback

I may regret posting this but I think he may actually want us to debuff people to get things to land better.

thats nice but many folks (like myself) dont get debuffs until velious.

^ ice lvl 49, actually quite good.

yes im aware of ice, in classic it never landed on anyone with more than 100 cold resistance to the point that no druid on a pvp server ever bothered to mem it.

it lands significantly better here, however since you need debuffs against people with high resistances anyway the likelihood of you wasting 250 mana is far superior to you actually landing the debuff, which in turn only lasts for about 15 seconds anyway (6 seconds for the nuke + pvp movement + spell refresh means you wont be getting more than one nuke off during that window if you were lucky enough to land).

ie it isnt a debuff, tash and malo are debuffs. druids do not get a debuff until velious.

My biggest concern with resists right now is snare/root cancelling sow. I understand in classic it did this, but that was with a resist system where snare and root landed very rarely.

In this resist system (less full resists, but shorter durations), if snare/roots are removing SoW, it makes SoW classes almost require Jboots, no? A SK, paladin, mage, wizard, cleric, enchanter, necro, and rogue can all root or snare. They all also require Jboots, so if they are snared or rooted its no big deal, just re-click Jboots.

Druids, Shamans, and Rangers all have SoW, there is no reason for them to get Jboots normally. But if their SoW is removed from 90% of classes, it pretty much kills the use of SoW.

So farm jboots if you're a druid/shaman and ranger...

Root/snare should definitely cancel SoW.

[Darwoth]

everyone that is competitive will have farmed jboots, however the issue remains as jboots are significantly slower than sow and the opposing group if they dont have a bard will all have sow 95% of the time.

It should, I agree. But on live, your chances of a root/snare landing with good MR was what, 5%-10%? If someone landed a root or snare after 10 times, then sure they deserve to get my SoW. But here, with roots and snares landing far more easily, why should my SoW, a huge advantage in PvP, be stripped by someone that casts 2 snares/roots?

I recall snare canceling sow, but I don't think root did.

Snares and roots are breaking way too easily... and they are super hard to land
