<DIV> <DIV>Well after running around Maj Dul at level 50, I decided to kill some things. Almost everything in Maj Dul is yellow and I was fighting against level 53-54ish mobs. I know resist rates are elevated when the mobs are a higher level then you, but some of these rates are a little absurd. Here is a big compiled parse of a maybe 30 or 45 minutes worth of fighting in Maj Dul.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG>TANK PET - Level 38 Rotting Thrall ( Adept III )</STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><U>TYPE                      HITS  MISS  HIT%</U></STRONG></DIV> <DIV>crush                      165     240     40.74</DIV> <DIV>Grisly Feedback     702     248     73.89</DIV> <DIV>Corpsic Frenzy       9        15        37.50</DIV> <DIV>Adherent's Charge  7        14       33.33</DIV> <DIV>Vile Breath              74      6         92.50   -- this is a 4 or 5 tick silence, so hit % is inflated</DIV> <DIV>Graven Scream      23      10       69.70</DIV> <DIV>Deathly Strike        10       17       37.04</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now... Some concerns:</DIV> <DIV>1) 41% accuracy with crushing? Do all melees experience this kind of hit%? If so, then fine. If not, then bring this up a bit please.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>2) Grisly Feedback - This spell is a damage shield. I would expect 100% accuracy from a damage shield.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>3) Corpsic Frenzy, Adherent's Charge, Deathly Strike. All of these spells are damage spells. Why are they only hitting a measily third of the time. That is outrageously low, and the hit % needs to be brought up to an acceptable level like 70 or 75% vs yellow con mobs.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>4) Graven Scream is a taunt I think. ( makes sense to me ) 70% is a relatively good hit% compaired to my pet's other abilities, but I believe that this should also be raised to 85 or 90%. Taunts being resisted at all is dumb enough, but 30% is way too much.</DIV></DIV>

thanks for the parse, how did you do overall though even with those kind of resists and were these solo or heroic mobs? i have to agree though those percentages seem pretty low hope that is changed or something. <div></div>

<DIV>They were heroics. My resist rate was about 20% on average. Spells like stuns/roots/fears seemed to have an elevated resist rate.. nearly 50% alot of the time.</DIV>

well, if i can solo 53-54 heroics at 50 then i will be one happy necro <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> how were you doing it kiting it and sending in pet when you had aggro or letting pet tank it straight out?   because despite those resists if i can solo heroics safely and quickly i will be happy. <div></div>

<DIV>Its not safe at all. I was winning maybe 85% of the time.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was having the pet tank it. It took almost chain heals with lots of ae damage. I found burning 1 of the 3 mobs down quickly with siphon/cloud/skinrott worked best.</DIV>
