Quote:Blizzard DOES call it a resist. There's no 'miss' on spells in-game. For whatever reason, they decided to call it 'resist' rather than 'miss'. Yes, for all intents and purposes, it's the same as a miss for a physical attack (with the exception that you can't get below 1% with spells). It is still not CALLED miss.
Why you insist on repeating this ad nauseam I do not understand. This will be my last post on this subject.
I believe weapon skill actually does play a part in PvP -- something to do with lowering your crit chance, I think? I haven't researched it, I simply stumbled across an article on it a few months back.
In the beta, spell resists are now called misses.
Quote:Yellow was an actual resist roll that the mob made and truely resisted the spell.
Which mobs could do even with 0% resistance, due to the presence of partial resists (The caster equivalent of glancing blows).
