I really have to wonder what Verant was thinking when they did
this. If a mob is so powerful for its level that by the time
you can kill him, he doesn't give you experience, then his
only purpose is to annoy the players. You do not make a loyal
playerbase by intentionally annoying the players.

I'm pretty sure all spells/songs cap out at 5% and 95%. They
will never be resisted more than 95% of the time, or less than
5% of the time. Or in other words, ultra-green mobs have at
least a 5% chance of resisting, ultra-red mobs have at most a
95% chance of resisting.
