Mobs resisting magic

[richaden]

Hiya,

My g/f and I were out hunting with a great team last night, we took on Hard Kipees, and then went after those mount thingies, bekotoubs or whatever they're called, hehe. I must have levelled 10 times that day in melee, but my g/f could only really level her defensive magic.

She's a caster, and every time she hit a mob with a spell, the mob would resist. At first, with the Kipees, we thought this was because they're resistant to acid, so, she tried Cold spells, and still the same effect, or lack of. I think she managed to get 2 offensive levels in the whole day.

She's just bought Rot 1 and Root, just in case the mobs we were hunting are less resistant to either of them. One thing though... does Root count as Offensive or Defensive?

Does the chance to resist magic go on the caster level (she's 23 Offensive I think), the spell level (Acid 2 didnt seem to work any better than Acid 1), or something else? (I.e intelligence/wisdom maybe?).

We're going to try hunting gingos tonight, just the two of us, but if we end up in a big party again going after 'big game', how would you suggest she gained offensive xp?

Thanks for any help

monster resistances were raised recently i think when the players resistances were added. i saw someone talking to a guide about it just yesterday. best thing to do is shoot stuff the same lvl or lower than her magic lvl if they dont resist then its ok stuff. higher than your magic lvl resisting more is something that happens till lvl 125 then you seem to never miss with spells like poison/fire/electricity/shockwave

And also, thanks to Rein, who saw my post and gave me a load of help in-game just after the server went back up
