Was brought to my attention that the -1500 Resist Check for AoE and -4000 Resist Check for DD NPC spells in T8 ToV were not working as intended, and also how to fix it.

They should now be working properly. Was probably some source code update that broke them few months ago to not see resist checks.

As always, give out free EZ Credits for major bug/exploit reports and the amount of credits depends on how good the info is, how bad the problem was, etc.

Soon will apply these fixes to some T7, T9, Angry Beholder, and Ancient Dragon bosses too.

Those spell resist checks -1500 and -4000 is how T8 was originally balance, as intended. The main tank would need over 4k resist to not get hit by boss DD spells, and the rest of the group would need either over 1 million HP and/or over 1500 resist to survive the AoE boss spells.

Guessing this person abused the zone before reporting, then got free credits

Only a guess though 

[arya1]

how often do they cast the AE / DD ? Is it random or static? Makes it harder to run more than 6 without knowing other party's health

You'd probably be right, since I know there was only one person in the world complaining about this like it was life changing AFTER completing it all for his characters.

Of course he did.  Should be made to redo t8, imo, not rewarded.

[Expletus]

Yes... I'm sure that person doesn't have 1 piece of T8 gear either. 

[clbreastmilk]

What was the previous setting before this change?

[Dimur]

This has been a pretty well known issue to anyone doing T8 and was brought up months ago, my guess is the reason it wasn't fixed until now is because nobody knew where the resist check was failing.  It's not like it matters much anyhow, because anyone going through the normal progression process would have the required resists on their their off toons anyhow since they'd be needed for T7 content.  The only head scratcher to me is that the DD is a 4k resist check, to have resists that high is basically saying that UW is in fact a requirement because even with all slots having at least one resist X from TOFS you'd be hard pressed to hit that level of resists without it, and going higher than resist X is just retarded given the amount of combines involved.

+ 1000 Dimur.

My mind is blown right now by this

Why is content being made around the UW?

So hunter, are you stating that everyone who is t9 flagged were knowingly or unknowingly exploiting t8? How is that fair to people who are not yet t8 flagged?

[Rageful]

You can drop the fairness thing right now. They will have to back track and get resists to even continue what they are doing now

Um, who cares about getting the resists. You still have to survive the AE and heal  it, as well as trying to maintain aggro from rollover.

[Hunter]

There is a variety of ways to increase your resist, increase your HP, and to increase your healers healing.

Combination of classes and quest items will help you to survive T8 where mobs do 1 million damage with high resist checks.

Actually, if you have enough resist, you won't have to heal up the spell damage.

So you can focus on resist and/or hp with healing. Both is better

you mean if everyone has 4k resists you dont have to heal?
