Hib resists WTF ?

[snoz]

Ok was doing some RvR tonight with my guild. Playing my Level 50 bondancer near AMG in emain, bumped into 1fg of Hibs 2x and both times they owned my fg badly .. thing was though i looked at my spell damage after and every target I selected I was hitting lifetap for 41 (-340) and my dark nuke for 75 (-390)

Can anyone explain to me WTf is going on ?

I expect good resists now with the scing and RA's but wtf is this ? whats point in playing when io can only hit like a level 20 player

They must have 95% resists or smt ? ? This can not be right surely ?

Might be the chanter RA, gives group uber resists for like 30 sec (might be 60 not sure on this one).

Hehe!

Hiya mate...

I'm almost certain you're talking about Eclipse, we got you a few times today

We now have 4 Enchanters with BAoD (Brilliant Aura of Deflection) that increases all of our magic resists by 35% (I think) for 30 seconds after we hit it.

At any one time we usually have 2/3 Enchanters with this RA in our group so it's usually fired off when we meet another FG+ that is Caster heavy.

man nerf that at once ..... hi dook ^^ do us a favour man when u boys are in emain give me a pm on irc and ill stick to crafting

Text gets changed in a patch

 

[succi]

26 % normal resist
24 % resist buff
35 % resist from baod
= 85 % magical resist.

Go Mythic.

This pain in the arse RA has been know about for ages.

Even Hibs realise that is a tad unbalancing...but hey...if Albs/Mids had it at their disposal...we would use it too ;p.

 

[Sharma]

and BoF isnt slightly unbalancing vayasen? ^^

take a plate tank for example

34% base plate abs

+ 9% necro abs

43% abs now

+ BoF = 50%

93% melee abs, thats not unbalancing?

gotta love alb/hib group RAs

 

[mid-sinister]

Mid has uber RA's that are useful, like, perfect recovery for instance, then the healer can rezz 1 guy of the group thats getting wiped, uber! (Hibs/Albs wanna swap your group magic/melee resists ra's for this for a while? I bet you wont

Lol, so right....and tbh I can't remember a single occasion where the guy who got pr'd by the healer didn't die again in the next minute...


Snoz, unlike Midgard Hibs have their resist buffs in common spec lines (druid in nurture which is much more viable than healer aug line due to combo buffs & warden resists are in pbt line), so the chance of running into a Hib group with high resists is something you better get used too.

 

[old.mattshanes]

Group purge,bunker of faith and brilliant aura of deflection should all be removed from rvr.

It's just a shame that casters do'nt melee us.

Its group..trust me

 

[old.mattshanes]

Well armsman and merc can have 71% all magic resists for 60 secs WITHOUT cleric and friar's added resists then add bof to that

no, are you sure ? But if you read about RA's it says it's single, but ofcourse Mythic thought hib were gimped so they made a hidden feature so its group instead

 

[SilverHood]

mythic cockup:/

being lazy bastards, they changed the desciption, rather than the actual RA... less work for them

Dont they do stuff like this all the time ???

 

[Jenna.]

they are mythic ? (hope that answers your question)

 

[<Wels>]

They should make that recovery thingie AE (max 5 chars though), or something like that

 

[Meatballs]

You kill half the group, then they suddenly all alive again! nerf :d

 

[mid-sinister]

TBH that would be nearly as good as being able to get 90%+ magic or melee resists depending on either alb or hib, a full group non ress sick rezz full power/hp rezz every 30 min.

Sure albs can mainly only be basically immune to melee once per 30 min, and hibs immune to magic, so a FG perfect rezz would be balanced if when you were rezzed you dont come back with buffs (would have to be usable while dead though or its a pretty pointless RA, though this would make it very abusable, like the FG mids you just killed are suddenly alive again and helping in the raid against your relic keep

 

[scarffs]

Yup, maybe a tad over it.
But on the otehr hand, if you get into a fg vs fg fight, when ppl start to die from your grp, its alrdy almost over.
And the healer has to be alive to cast pr when a person is alrdy dead, and most of the time its the healer who dies, so pretty useless i'd say.
Then if you take the other ras, you cast it before a fight or just into it, the whole group benefits from it and doesnt die as easily, thus giving his/her help for longer period etc etc.
It would be best to give mid also an overpowered group ra ( maybe give to shammies to balance the nerf they get ) or remove these ras altogether.

The best thing would be to remove most active ras because they ruin the game. Then people wouldnt zerg/pharm rps, they would play together better, dont cry as much etcetc... Then rvr wouldn't be something like xping for lvl 50's, it would be something you do for fun

Shammies already have a very good RA that can be the sole reason for their group winning a fight. (Its another one of those Insta CCs Albion doesn't have... maybe if we had anything to fall back on we wouldn't need overpowered RA's )

Dont worry, not all hibs have all 95% resists.. I mean this poor guy only has *two* resists over 90%...

http://users.wpi.edu/~jayrod/Mentalist_Reports/Resists_02.jpg

A cabalist or cave shaman would just rip this poor guy to shreads... But not to worry, this picture was taken prior to the introduction of spellcrafting, so I am sure he has sorted it out by now and fixed that low matter resist

 

[inqy]

ahh that's it, I'd forgotten the reason I've not played my spirit master in over a month. thx for the reminder.

 

[bone_idle]

Dont moan about Hibernia. Join us

 

[tildson]

Well you alb have Bof, only mids have the right to complain i think

 

[Meatballs]

melee hits and endurence regen + alot more defence/hp > using up power trying to nuke someone for 22 damage wearing cloth armour and having your only form of defence (root) last 5secs
