Resists have been added to all SF PvP and BG armor. This should give players in the new PvP armor a higher 'base' for their resists.


Toughness has been improved. It still grants the flat reduction to PvP damage, however also grants 1.5x that amount of critical mitigation. This means that a full set of gear will give 40% damage reduction as well as 60% crit mit.

We are re-working the spell resist function to no longer heavily favor priests. Instead of basing it on WIS, it will be based upon STA--a stat that everyone has and pursues to varying degrees.

The resist formula is going to remain similar (though scaled down at the high end as it was possible for high-WIS characters to reach 45-50% spell resist), but will be based upon the *caster's* level instead of the *defender's* level. This will make it more difficult to attack much higher-level targets as they will naturally have a very high chance to resist your spells.




These are all very welcome changes. I for one was a little tired of not being able to hit a priest with a single spell.

At this point I do not need sniper to one shot. Just logged off from a round of testing and the new changes are awsome. Mages and Healers are the glass cannons they should be and you can not longer get mezzed for an entire fight.

For once a properly clad player in PvP armor was able to take out raid geared players. As it should be.
