It's no problem. I'm learning to understand individual people's
voice on here and not blow up on them after reading into a post,
where I've cleared misunderstood. Sylly is an exception, I get
to flame her continually until she stops these silly dragon raids
and starts getting more levels.

I have heard too many people say, the dragon breath weapon is gonna
damage you, no matter what. And that cold/fire resist won't cut the
damage enough to be worth replacing better ac/stat armor out for.
I'm not experienced enough yet in dragon raids to know either way.
I hear what you are saying, and am willing to try to go in with
250 CR/HR to check it out. But I've heard other servers say the
opposite, in that the Fear is the biggest problem. I don't have
enough time invested into raids yet to know. Vox tried to fear
me and I shrugged it off with MR 59. I just don't know how big
resistances are to anything anymore.

In a recent duel with a L50 cleric, with an MR 109, I resisted
Flash of Light, Stun, Holy Might, and two other stuns they get.
The guy couldn't get one utility spell off on me. Then we
tried offensive damage spells. This is where is got all F'd up.

Retribution. normally does what? 530ish dmg?

Mystic: MR 109, first cast 100 dmg, second cast 300 dmg (full hit).
Ele/Gu: MR 161, first cast 200 dmg, second cast 250 dmg.

Never once did I outright resist the spell. Resistances are
very cloudy in my mind for dmg based effects right now.

Harmonic.
