Resist Rates on nukes

<DIV>I'm not positive, but I dont have that problem, especially on my nukes that are rated yellow or blue now.  Orange ones do get resisted or do less damage.  Currently I have one that cosistantly does between 60 and 80 damage, and it became a blue rated spell for me just recently.  I'm level 22.  I do use nukes quite a bit.  Best way to practice them and get your skill level up would seem to be soloing and using your Ho's.  They require at least 3 nukes to comlete and I end up doing at least 3 Heroic Opertunities every time I attack a blue solo mob.</DIV><p>Message Edited by caspak on <span class=date_text>11-26-2004</span> <span class=time_text>01:23 PM</span>

<DIV>I went through a phase at about lvls 16-18 where it seemed all my smites where resisted, it gradually improved. I think at the same time I "upgraded" to adept I on smite and this probably had a lot to do with the fails. As I grew into my upgraded spells the resist % went down dramatically.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I do notice still if soloing and using HO's, I get more resists, could just be a coincidence.</DIV>

<DIV>I don't get any showstopper resists on smites, radiances or combative faiths.  The occasional resist here and there sure.  But for the most part, it seems to be par.  This is while solo against green-yellow solo-con mobs.  My debuffs stick nearly every time.  I've never had a problem with too many resists.</DIV>

<DIV>not to mention the "fizzle" factor...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>i wanted to rename my Cleric "mr. Fizzle'.... its WAY to high... between fizzle/interupts and resists im lucky to get off 60% of my offensive spells...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>i notice heals rarely get affected...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>seems unfair to me.:smileymad:</DIV>

<DIV>I don't have any problems with debuffs or heals, it's just on nukes. I've been working on raising disruption skill and it seems to be having a very posotive effect on this, I assume that your "skill" perhaps influences casting level for resist checks so a low skill against higher level mobs gives a high resist rate.</DIV>

<DIV> It also may depend on what App or Adept lvl you have. Mine are all App 3 and above and I rarely get a resist.</DIV>
