Spells: Holy Shock (Paladin Epic) and Wrath of Nature (Druid Epic)

[Jeni]

Both of these epics have a -100 resist chance that is currently not taken into account on PvP targets. Below are the logs testing the resist threshold for both the Fiery Defender and the Nature Walkers Scimitar.

PALADIN
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This proc's threshold in PvP is currently set at 50 magic resist despite having a -100 modifier to the resist chance. I did some testing today to determine at what levels the paladin epic proc at and here are the logs. We initially started with 130+ magic resist and worked all the way down to where it landed and then found the threshold. Can post complete logs if needed and both targets are level 60 for these exchanges.

58 MR - Resist
[Tue Sep 29 14:06:34 2015] Weinus says, '58'
[Tue Sep 29 14:07:17 2015] Your target resisted the Holy Shock spell.

46 MR - Spell lands
[Tue Sep 29 14:07:49 2015] Weinus says, '46'
[Tue Sep 29 14:10:23 2015] Weinus was hit by non-melee for 103 points of damage.

49 MR - Spell lands
[Tue Sep 29 14:11:18 2015] Weinus was hit by non-melee for 103 points of damage.
[Tue Sep 29 14:11:18 2015] Weinus is burnt by the wrath of the heavens.

51 MR - Resist
[Tue Sep 29 14:11:47 2015] Weinus says, '51'
[Tue Sep 29 14:12:24 2015] Your target resisted the Holy Shock spell.

I believe this resist rate is exactly in line with other normal stuns.


DRUID
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The druid epic is behaving and landing at a rate equal to ensare despite having the -100 resist. Below are logs of testing the thresholds of each with both landing below 75.

70 MR- Both Spells Land
[Tue Sep 29 14:15:29 2015] You are ensnared.

[Tue Sep 29 14:15:40 2015] You are no longer ensnared.
[Tue Sep 29 14:15:40 2015] You are gripped by nature's wrath.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, I am willing to post the complete logs as well as gather more samples around the threshold if it would help.

Bump

[DeadlyApostle]

Nature's Defender proc is also being affected by this bug. It is being resisted with 50 MR despite having a lure resist check.

[Colgate]

Natures Holy Wrath (Natures Fefender) and Holy Shock (Fiery Defender) should not be getting resisted like this

however, Wrath of Nature (Nature Walkers Scimitar) had a 0 resist mod until september 2002 during the resist system revamp patch, according to the lucy entry, so this spell should be just as easy to resist as the necro/sk darkness line

until then, Holy Shock had a Lure(4) mod and Natures Holy Wrath had a Lure(3) mod, so Holy Shock should be slightly harder to resist than Natures Holy Wrath

[Jeni]

Wrath of Nature was always -100 resist check. Most of the lucy recorded history data starts at 2002 and the initial entry was probably not correct. This shows the first few initial data just setting the stats for the spell.

<------- All the 2002 data is from lucy initially setting values.

2004-04-14 12:00 Changed Slot 3 from "Stun(1.50 sec)" to "Stun(1.50 sec/61)"

That being said all these epics were in game far before 2002. This is lucy just getting the spell data right.

[Colgate]

lucy spell data system didn't exist until 3/7/2002, which is why all of the initial entries are for that date

[Jeni]

Can't tell if you are agreeing with me or not. But i can post a ton more examples of the exact same thing Initial Entry followed by a bunch of corrections / data updates.

[Colgate]

i would be inclined to maybe agree with you if 9/4/2002 didn't have this patch revamping the resist system:

http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20020904.html

my guess is that since they removed the snare component, they set the resist mod to match that of other druid DoT spells, i.e. Winged Death also has a -100 mod

[Technique]

Wrath of Nature has no resist mod in any classic spell file, even as recent as the Trilogy release spdat dated 8/22/2001.

Lucy data corroborates this because spells such as Holy Shock that actually did have a resist mod have a pair of entries marking when the mod, indicated by a Lure() slot, was recast as a resistadj value in the new system that was introduced in PoP:

Holy Shock

2002-09-04 11:33 Removed Slot 1: Lure(4)
2002-09-04 11:33 Changed Resistadj from 0 to -100
