is that so hard to believe, that 225 would make a difference where 125 does
not? or did i read that wrong. you're killing me, Harm!

wouldn't they be ice-based spells, where mystic shielding is MR only? my
wiz has a frost shock spell at level 24 and an ice shock spell at 34. i'm
assuming they would cast something like that being ice goblin wizzies.

not clearly. everyone but you thinks resistances are the most important.
otherwise all the players there would not do everything they can
equipment/spell/song wise to get both MR and CR/FR both over 200. i dunno
what you see on these guys. most of the items are jewelery, so you may not
see that. but every tank at our raids has froglok crowns and gnomish
environmental suits on. you can see those easily. a tank with
russett/indoclite mixed with a leather tunic and no helm stands out. come
Harm, come to the dark side.
