For the love of god....FIX MAGIC RESISTANCES

Before patch my SM was fine, in pvp and pve.... even with a third of the SM skills being "Broken", but after the patch leveling to 55 became incredibly difficult with the aspect of 80% of my spells being resisted. So I switched to a tome, and stacked half my slots with m.acc. still..... having half my shit miss on DP mobs. But then I thought, "Oh it will prolly even itself out once I hit 55" ...now I'm 55 and it's just as bad. Even on players it seems to resist as if I was 20 levels lower than the current targeted player. Normally Id be on now, killing some elyos out in core and dueling it up in panda... but getting my ass handed to me time and time again because my fears all get resisted or my body root doesn't land kinda puts a damper on the fun scale.

And before somebody says it, I will not rip out all my HP stones for 100% magic accuracy stones.... not gunna happen. Im honestly hoping this is a bug thatll eventually be worked out.

Just looking for some feedback from other SMs on how they're taking this as well as some moderators on how soon this will be fixed, or if it will be at all.



EDIT: After some intense duel testing, Ive found that in pvp magic resist isnt too bad, but some skills just plain dont work anymore....including normal Fear and Fear shriek, but instant works...and most of my pets are fucked up now as well, neither the 51-55 earth pet and water work....fire spirit is broken now ...all die in one hit. This also includes Magma and tempest spirits.

 

Yea ive noticed it aswell....so it seems that the SM arenow extreamly gimped by this....not to mention there is a huge glitch where your lvl 55 summons have the health bar of a lvl 1 summon. so now even the weakest enemies can one hit the MAGMA of all things....

 

yeah, i saw it!!!

my sorcerer happens it, with root, winter binding, and slow effects.. D:

 

I'm suffering the same,

A Spiritmaster is useless if its DoTs won't apply on the enemy,
Not to mention other bugs like all spirits have 724 HP,
Fear breaking on first hit, this should never happen,
Barely rooting/sleeping/binding enemy.

Thats just horrible and I think they will be fixed with the next update.

 

SMS ARE BROKEN DX
They're just pretty dolls now.
I'm so upset because Sm is all i know how to uuuuse~
;_;
+1 to you, sir!



Edit:
But i hear Asmo SM works just DANDY!!!! >:<

 

can any GM confirm if what's happening with the spiritmaster class as mentioned above is not normal? or is this really how spiritmasters are supposed to be (with resist as the main issue; both fear I and fear shriek are bugged cause there's no resist message at all it just won't budge)?..thanks in advance to the GM who can enlighten us..

 

Yeah i too QQ alot about it cuz just b4 update i donated for some abyss gear on my sm and now it got even more broken than before and i dun see or hear any1 doing any efort to fix it . besides the pets being bugged sm has around 15 skills that dosent work at all or not suppose to do what they intended to do , and on top of that resistant formula is all wrong it dosent matter how much magical acuracy u get mobs will stil resist u a lot.. ppl not so much but the concentration formula needs a little work too cuz i see in game mobs or ppl getting thier skills interrupted by "normal hits" not even status like stun or knock back oh and 1 more thing with sm : ppl from same race can kill ur pet with normal hits lol whats up with that ! and only 1 fear working and has 5 min cd .they all used to work same day of the 1.9 update idk what happened after...theres so much to fix even to post about it takes time .. cant imagine doing the fixes.

 

+1 to the post above me..

..if a GM can confirm that SMs really are bugged and they are working on it, we'll surely be happy with that..at least for the time being...so please GM's please reply..anyone?

 

A few points:
1. MRES on mobs are bugged. Or at least applying dots on them are. MRES is never that high on retail
2. Fears became broken after the server changed host. They have yet to manually apply their own version of fixes to enable fears to work.
3. They do not have the stat tables for pets above level 50, thus pets above level 50 are broken. Water Spirit III, Earth Spirit III are still working as they are maxed at lv 48.
4. Fixing SM skills are extremely hard. Not enough devs paying much attention to the class and not many players choose SMs because of the broken skills.

Nope. Asmo fears are broken except for Curse of Water.

 

//Tinfoil hat paranoia mode ?

I'm sure you're not being serious, but there's no way that it's even possible for asmo skills to work better than elyos ones.

(with the exception of the few skills that are actually different for the different races)

 

how can you test when your not running Magical accuracy very high?

And how can you say its broken (see above) if you havent tested it properly.

You get magic resists on every piece of armor, every accessory, players and mobs at level 55 have a high magical resist (IE the ability to resist your spells) so your magical accuracy needs to match or better it to have a % chance to land a hit.

Another words, magic resist gives a % to Resist the attack, if they have a far higher resist than your accuracy then of cause your not going to land attacks. time to rip those HP stones out and put in MA instead.

You have failed to say what your magical accuracy is, and point blankly refused to up your magical accuracy, and processed to complain you cant hit anything?

I play a sorc, and i can tell you although i get some spells resisted i hit a majority of the time due to Magical accuracy being very high.

 

I tested this on DP mobs, lv 48-50 mobs.... learn too read. I tested this far enough to the point that before patch I had the same stones/gear and even with 5 levels of advancement I miss 50% more on the same mobs. Thats all the testing I need to come to a conclusion. Before you get on here to flame, do your research.

 

bulllshit! i just got rickrolled by one D:!

 

It works like it's supposed to now. Listen to some of the advice and try some stuff out instead of just blowing every one off.

I think the problem is in your setup or gear. People are asking every day to nerf magic users because of getting 1 hitted and you say you can't hit anything?

BTW, Elites are supposed to resist, they do on official. They have better resists then most players. It's why they are elites, they weren;t originally designed to be solo'd. :lol:
