When an offensive spell is cast, the target has two separate chances to resist the attack. First, there is a check based purely on the level difference between the caster and the target. This is referred to as the spell miss chance, and is affected by any Spell Hit Rating equipment that the caster is wearing. Talents that reduce the enemies' chances to resist spells, such as Arcane Focus, are also taken into account by this check. This level based resistance cannot be reduced by any means, not even Spell Penetration.

  • When an offensive spell is cast, the target has two separate chances to resist the attack. First, there is a check based purely on the level difference between the caster and the target. This is referred to as the spell miss chance, and is affected by any Spell Hit Rating equipment that the caster is wearing. Talents that reduce the enemies' chances to resist spells, such as Arcane Focus, are also taken into account by this check. If the target is of a significantly higher level, the spell will usually fail completely. If the target is significantly lower level, the spell will very rarely fail. This first check is why spell-casting players have such a hard time landing spells consistently on all monsters a few levels higher. In PvP combat, however, this is less of a factor; a level 10 Mage can land polymorph on a level 70 player with some regularity. Note: Level-based resistance (not to be confused with level-based miss) can play a factor in total resists. For every level that a mob has over the player, there is 8 resist (believed; the exact number may be higher) added. For boss fights, this means there is 15-24 resistance added. This extra resistance means there will be partial resists on non-binary spells from the added resistance. However, this resistance has been shown to not apply to binary spells at all. This level based resistance cannot be reduced by any means, not even Spell Penetration.
