This time's for keeps.

K.I.S.S. yes/no, pretty easy =/

this poll makes me have to think, therefore i will not respond to it

also, there are no cute kittens in this thread, and i have an affinity for threads with awesome kitten pics in them.

in light of future posts in this thread i may reconsider offering my time and opinion!

Deffo yes. 3 resists in a row on lvl 80 SOH trash? You gotta be kidding me. I mentored down my templar to lvl 20something and got a felt 50% resist rate on yellow mobs.

FFS, just remove resists from the game, and scale the spell effect according to the mob's resists. Can't be so fucking difficult to implement.

so is soe doing this because they feel that anyone that is still playing wont leave and anyone that starts playing now will accept the current resist rates? because this really sucks.

I think casting skills need to be more noticable. +20 disruption should actually mean something (like what +50 disruption does now), since it's probably harder for a mage to get +disruption then it is for a melee to get +slash/crush/pierce.

I also think they need to tone way down the resist rate on solo/group content. If your a non-raiding mage, you really do have something to bitch about.

It's about the same ease of getting either +disruption or +slash. Momentary Sentiment cast, oh damn look at that, +60 or whatever for half the time!

Oh, and both Yes options suck. I'd vote saying Yes, because resists being this high for mages now is going to make it hell come next expansion.

What if I told you that casting a vote here didn't mean you had to be my friend or believe everything I believed? Would that inspire you to think?

Then for you I would add a miscellaneous Yes option if I knew how. I just want an easy way to see everyone's thoughts on the matter in one glance.

yeah right, the resists in RE2 suck even with going with a illusionist last night

firamas · 06-20-2008, 08:17 AM

so if mages go back to a near-100% hit rate with little regard for mob resists or debuffs, can melee get some way to increase their static/unbreachable 67% autoattack hit rate?

(i mean outside of relying on two specific VP 6-set bonuses from other classes in their group, that is... because we all know how much raiders love being forced to wear set gear)
