hrmm. maybe it will get better for me. i havent exactly kept track, but i do
think that my force shock gets resisted about 1 out of every 4 casts (blue
mobs). it does seem to work much better if i start with flame shock and
finish with force shock (maybe the mobs MR goes down as his health goes
down???). when enstill does stick, i find that a force shock will knock
them right out of it. go figure??? but im not complaining, as i am still
very satisfied with my flame shock which practically never gets resisted,
and root stilll seems to stick 9 out of 10 times (tho it doesnt stick for
the duration of the fight anymore). thats great that frost shock doesnt
have to recharge. my flame shock doesnt seem to be doing enough dmg at lvl
23 now (well, it is only a lvl 16 spell being used at lvl 23)...
ps. anybody know of a better 2h blunt we can use than the rts in the mid
20's lvl range? i picked up a glowing wooden crook this morning, but we cant
use :(
