im a 70/52 warlock rogue and majority of the time my Ss is being resisted. by time i even get one off im dead in siegewar. today for instance i was trying to Ss this lvl 64 p.s and he even resisted my skill. Has this been happening to anyone else close to endgame?

Means you don't have much magical accuracy (from wisdom). Could be possible that priest had just enough wisdom for their magical resistance (also from wisdom) to > your magical accuracy.

Even if this is an issue, Id like to see Wl/r shadowstab fixed so that it does not ignore LOS rules in siege.

if the priest or druid has more m def than you have m att chances are you will have a hard time killing them.and as Raves pointed out the priest probly has more magical resistance than you have accuracy.

priest isnt the only char that is resisting it though its all classes ones that dont even have endgame gear. but they are 70-75s. i believe this skills may be broken. even a guy stated in one of the wrl.r threads that his lvl 72 shadowstab gets resisted 70percent of the time

that thread stats that ss should be lvled to max for it to do good damage ,maybe this has something to do with it.it is definitly an odd thing it could very well be broken too.

Since shadowstab is a converted physical to magical skill, it wouldn't surprise me if the way its coded makes it go off of your physical accuracy vs their dodge. This could explain the "resists". Mind stating your physical accuracy and your magical accuracy?

(and again, before this skill gets any "fix", Id like to see it follow Line of Sight rules like all the other skills are supposed to. This skill currently ignores LOS rules and can be shot through solid wall.)

You are correct, I resist 8 out of 10 wl/r ss in siege, and I am not gonna resist much with 53k mdef, so I look at what I have that could do that, and it has to be phy acc. With hero pot I have 20500 dex, my phy acc is 19k. My Stan is only 15k buffed with pet so it can't be anything to do with that.

Well, resistance has nothing to do with mdef. Thats like saying a tank can dodge because they get 500k pdef. Resist is the magical equivalent to dodge.

The OP actually pm'd me last night and we tested it out. When I was completely unbuffed (about 13 wis, 8k magic resist), they hit me fairly often. About 1 resist every 10-15 or so attacks. They had 2.5k magical accuracy.

I then full buffed wisdom, 17k wisdon or something, 11.2k magical resist, and I resisted maybe 4/10 hits. So it IS affected by magical defense/resistance.

Now, if a rogue is resisting, its interesting. May be a long shot into assumptionhood here, but maybe the skill is going against *both* dodge AND magical resistance? Since, after all, it IS converted from physical to magical...and we all know how awesome RW is at coding

From what I understand, wisdom gives both magic accuracy and magic "dodge." In much the same way dex does for physical dps.

I've had a fairly OP try and hit me over and over and that purple resistance keeps showing up. I think I have like 1400 wisdom. Something has to be wrong with the conversion of SS going from phy damage to magic. Try it on a r/s with over 20k dex.

Can a dev please look into or note the skill down. It is seriously starting to become irritating as it is a main skill that rarely hits in pvp and in pve it misses the target every so often even on a monster 10 lvls lower.

There are 2 dwarf skills that I KNOW hit through walls, one is wl/r shadow stab and the other is champ/r something..lol, can't remember its name, but it hits hard. And I know this because in siege many times I have been inside our castle walls while the wl/r is outside assulting our gate and I get hit quite often. They have used it to take down electrics and flamers that we placed within our walls and out of t-storm range.

The ch/r on the other hand was within their guilds castle while we were taking down inner gate and hitting not only me but a lot of my guild through the walls. And before you say they were porting, we could see him jumping around within.
