Odd combat text

[Rukar]

<DIV>Ok, so I was tooling around TS a bit this morning and wandering through A Pirate's Hidden Stash as I thought I had to go there for a quest (turns out I didn't). Anyway, as I was mercilessly slaughtering the grey mobs in there, I was noticing some strange things going on. This is the first time that I've seen this happen, and I didn't find anything through searching so I thought I'd ask about it. What was happening was the mobs were resisting some of my attacks. Not just blocking or parrying, but RESISTING. The "Resist" graphic was even floating above their heads when it happened, just it like does when we resist something, but it was more of a dimmed yellow. The combat also said that they resisted it. Now, I could understand if the mobs were resisting say, the heat portion of Swooping Dragon, but how does that explain them resisting Rapid Strikes and Flying Kick? I'm wondering if this is a bug or something. It usually said that after it said they blocked or parried the attack. Like I said, this was the first time I've seen it. I never saw this happen once while I was in Nek last night. Anyone else notice this today or before today?</DIV>

Did you have Thundering Fists active or a proc weapon equipped?  They could be resisting your procs if so.

<DIV>If this happens again, can you (or someone else) please grab either a screenshot of the combat spam or a snippet from your log?</DIV>

This was happening to me today as well although I didn't get a screenshot of it in effect or remember to log the combat chat. What is happening is when the mob parries/blocks the art then it also resists the spell effect of the art like dots and stuns(scrolled through my combat spam to double check), which I dont think is new just is noticable now the resist message shows above mobs head when the art doesnt land. Noticed this on Waking Dragon, Diving Dragon, Icy Talon, Charging Tiger, and Lunging Mongoose. This was on green and blue heroic lizardmen in CT today. I don't know if it seemed like it was happening more than it should or just is more noticable now, I was tank most of the night so I was more prone to blocks/parries.<p>Message Edited by Arrowheart on <span class=date_text>05-13-2005</span> <span class=time_text>11:40 PM</span>

<div></div>What you are seeing is this. (I appologise for the red text and hard to read) Apparently there are now a melee tohit line of text. And on a miss/block/parry the effect is then resisted. This shot is of a 2 way situation. My attack is blocked and subsiquently the effect of my attack is resisted. The Mobs attack does the same. <a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/image_view.vm?imageId=345429" target=_blank>This</a> <div></div><p>Message Edited by Elmomo on <span class=date_text>05-14-2005</span> <span class=time_text>01:07 AM</span>

Thank you for clearing that up.  Has anyone seen the resist message on a strike that did land? <div></div>
