More data from the SPDat. Doesn't give any of the formulas from page 1 for each thing, but then the spell parser might not be sophisticated enough to parse that information or the Sony's server-side may have limited the healing effects reported to the client.

Some point between January 31, 2001 and March 6, 2001 the spdat file changed and no longer includes the Resistance Check: Magic + 25 and just says Resistance Check: Magic. Strange enough the April 4, 2000 does not include the +25 either.

That's related to the spell's casting difficulty, not a resist mod (see the fizzleadj field in Lucy). It's just parsed incorrectly by EQCaster.

Didn't know that! Thanks.

[Erati]

spells casting difficulty?

wat????

[Freakish]

Ever notice that canni fizzles more than other spells? That's because it has a fizzle adjust to fire more on that spell.

I assume there are others but I played shm on live and that's the one I always grumbled about.

I had the dubious honor of being credited for this nerf even though all of my posts asked for a buff. If you want any historical details, let me know. I do remember that I was on vacation with no internet access for a week when it happened. Then I came back to about 1000 hate posts. Good times.

[Pringles]

Looking over the spdats it seems the the recast time was only five minutes for a couple months between epic patch and November 2000 patch after which it was reduced to five seconds until at least April 2001. Working as intended for the timeline we are on now? Perhaps on green a rule could be put into place nerfing it for those couple months.

This thread was a fucking ride.
