Do Jolt resists do anything?

[Darguth]

Question in the title. I've heard that a resisted Jolt is a partial resist and still contributes to reduced hate, just not the full amount. Is that true?

It has been my understanding that Jolt/Cinder Jolt do not work properly on this server and provide agro reduction whether the land or get resisted.

If they function the way Concussion does for wizards, they should reduce agro even if resisted. I'm pretty confident that it works when I play my wizard so unless they coded it to not work on resists for rangers but work for wizards then it should work for both classes.

I think we have proved Concussion is in line currently with the way it was on classic to work even when resisted.

Spells apply or subtract hate upon cast. Doesn't matter if it resists.

Shamans pull aggro even when their slows get resisted; this is essentially the same principle.

What's the point of the spell being resistible at all then?

Classically, resisted spells would only do 'a large fraction' of the hate that an unresisted spell would do.

So, hypothetically, if a slow would cause 300 hate, a resisted slow would do 210.
