Resistance Stacking Experimental Analysis: Is it viable at 70?

just ran across another interesting + resist item

Syrannis' Mystic Sheen - Item - World of Warcraft
Syrannis' Mystic Sheen - Item - World of Warcraft

appears on BETA, +bonus armor gains AP for tanking specs, and this cloak is higher in that stat than any epic 70 cloak

Yep. That's just the tip of the iceberg though...

Live; Band of the Eternal Defender - Item - World of Warcraft
Beta; Band of the Eternal Defender - Item - World of Warcraft (still gives 800 bonus armor)

Living Root of the Wildheart - Item - World of Warcraft does this still give 4070 armor?

live; Malorne Harness - Item Set - World of Warcraft
beta; Malorne Harness - Item Set - World of Warcraft stil gives 1400 armor in bear

here's my guardian druid who is probably going to global people in WOD

i ran a player thru a mt hyjal final rep run for caster version ring. my 85 is exalted after running it so many times, i was also looking at Band of the Eternal Defender - Item - World of Warcraft as a twink item for a 85 after squish.

blizz could be opening opening a serious imbal bag of worms with this +armor = AP for tanks in WOD. a guardian spec druid, playiing predominately cat form could easily out do any feral cat, and have a near bubble mode bear form to fall back on

from what i have read older gear that has dodge and parry., will still show dodge and parry, but those stats will be converted to bonus armor in WOD also. i can see some seriously insane prot pals/wars, BM's, guard-druids inc. Gnomeregan Auto-Dodger 600 - Item - World of Warcraft this is a cheap JP vendor trinket in shattrah

just now got a SSC run, this dropped off trash mob, something you may consider for your tank druid

resistance is a big factor for sure, and its the main reason i quit 70. especially when you play mage disc because the comp is based on resetting and waiting for deep fear. if ONE of those spells gets resisted your whole setup will be fucked and you will have to run for another 30sec, but hey, people play to win right? xD let them stack dem gems up to keep theyre precious rating.

a good example: one of the worst priests ive faced on 70, partymonster spamming in elwynn forrest every single day that hes selling boost at 70.. even if he knows no1 would even bother to buy arena boost at 70 hes a attentionwhore who would like to showoff hes useless r1 on 70, which i would take from him if i really wanted to. sometimes i get bored and go to 70 streams, and i see those shit priests win to f.example the two bests priest by far in the bracket: streetjames and lewis because of the resistance stacking which makes theyre fears getting resisted etc.

That also answers OP's question oncemore.

Resistance is complete aids to fight vs if you're a caster. You can outplay people and still lose.

reason why every good caster has pretty much quit the bracket

holy magic op plz implement holy resist
 
Spell Penetration hasn't been completely removed guys. Eye of Moam - Item - World of Warcraft (That's 100 Spell Pen, not whatever strange number it lists) and Staff of the Qiraji Prophets - Item - World of Warcraft. Ideally, the trinket as it's not too much of a stat loss, and it will counter all of those void spheres for 30 seconds, enough time to ensure there won't be a deep resist.

There are a couple experiments that still need to be done, and that's for WoD. As we know, resistance as a stat is getting squished (except Void Spheres which are retaining +4 Resistance). What we don't know is if resistance values are getting squished too. The devs have confirmed the resist logic will remain in the game and continue to function the same as it presently does, but celestation refused a request into elemental resistance values. So we don't know.
