How much shadow resist do bosses in naxx have?
I have around 100 spell penetration on my priest and even with CoE (100+130= 230penetrated) on boss i keep getting resists ( mostly from mindflay , but may just be most used spell )

hm...spell penetration doesn't work in PvE...
So no gems nor coe will help me avoid resists?
An NPC's resistance to certain spell schools does not work the same way a player's resistances to spell schools do. Therefore, the answer to your question is no.Quote:

I kind of agree here to with Mind Flay, i'm not even in Naxx right now and i swear sometimes i see mobs resisting more then they should be so i kind of wonder if it's bug of some sort, but i don't know. I don't remember mobs in retail WoTLK (or any expanion) resisting as much as they do here.Quote:

It may be intentional to make it more hardcore perhaps, just throwing ideas, but it sucks quite a lot when you need to interupt certain spells, even while leveling, getting hit by a caster mob HURTS A LOT, if a mob does 50 damage a spell usually does 300+ from them, so you need to interrupt them.
It's not game breaking, since obviously people are raiding fine, so end content seems safe, so I guess we have to suck it up while leveling then.
26 resists on KT is not normal, something is fishy.
You need 289 hit rating as a SPriest, so theres your problem. Spell Penetration is PvP, L2P.
resist =/= miss, l2pQuote:

I don't think Naxxramas bosses actually have a specific amount of Shadow resistance. At least they're not meant to.
All mobs (including bosses) that are of a higher level than you have a chance to partially resist your spell damage, based on the difference in level between you and said mob. Partial resists based on level differences cannot be mitigated through any means. The way resistance works is also distinct from how most damage reduction mechanics function. Partial resists occur in multiples of 10%, i.e., the mob has a random chance to resist either 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, etc, based on what its resistance towards you is. Higher resistances increase the likelihood that the amount resisted is greater, essentially pushing the partial resist curve to the right (I believe it takes on the properties of a binomial distribution).
Numerically, these partial resists account for 2% less overall spell damage against a target, per level difference. Against a level 83 boss target, partial resists would account for you doing 6% less damage than you would be doing if you were hitting a level 80 target instead. Note that this doesn't mean that all your spells are doing flat 6% less damage. It just means a certain number of your spells are being resisted by 10% or 20%, and that the net outcome of all those partial resists is more or less equivalent to if you were doing 6% less damage overall.
The first post by Kovan on this page here explains it all a bit more thoroughly, and with actual logged DPS numbers to corroborate the theory: http://forums.elitistjerks.com/forum...ation/?page=11
Doesn't warlock curse of elements have an effect on that?
That only increases spell damage. The old version of it reduced resistances.Quote:
