Mez in PvP

Okey? I call bullshit.
If you go into char select and start creating a toon and press on charisma.

Charisma affects how much merchants will charge you for their wares. It also affects the chance of charm, memory blur, mesmerization, and divine intervention spells effect to work.

That information is from beyond the classic era. It also says that intelligence affects whether Bards miss notes, something which is only affected by dexterity and charisma in classic.

[AffEcT]

Charisma affects lull, mez, and charm resists. Since the bard is one of only two classes that can mesmerize in Norrath, the other being the Enchanter, this is a decent location to allocate creation points.

This is what it says on the wiki.
Can any GM verify this?

[Steaks]

pretty sure cha is mez resist rate not mr in pve

pvp? no comment

[Palemoon]

Mezz already lands far too much with good MR in pvp. Classic pvp = enchanters are dispell bots, or maybe later one shot rapture interupt bots.

You may all be pleased to know that I'm going to be getting down in the dirt for real with researching resists.

I'll save trolling and input for after I've compiled my research. I'll save my responses from there for people I know to be credible in the department and may take things privately from there.

What I'll tell you right now is this, and the shit can just hit the fan now... it is going to advocate changes that will hurt casters. I'm a caster and one who isn't afraid to play classic EQ pvp. I hope you take the latter part of that last sentiment and consider in your future responses on the issue.

Just wait for rapture. And iksars.

[Nirgon]

Rapture has a bitch of a CD compared to the other mezzes and a rather high mana cost as well.

It's still pretty nasty.

As far as iksars we already have ogre warriors/shamans/SKs

The monks, from a caster stand point, are going to be dangerous more as a result from Kunark gear than just being an Iksar. I believe humans can reach a higher base starting STR than Iksar, too lazy to look.

kunark opens a world of hurt for casters vs melee

with all the extra resist stuff , MUCH more haste and better weapons?

oh and btw disciplines? oh hi warrior can kill anyone in less then 5 seconds

[Nirgon]

Uh hi to lure of ice, epics mage pets, ridiculous cleric heals that completely change pvp etc too..

Don't wanna drop too many spoilers in this~

[Steaks]

hi lure of ice huge cast time with no channeling aa
oh hi mages have nothing to evade pvp and die in 3 seconds

not to mention mage epic is diffuclt for a reason , i did it on live where spawns / drops are actually rare , im sure on emu its a joke like everything else rare but still

only dedicated mages will ever summon that primary
