For this post, you're not being punished because you're undead. You're being punished because you're whiny.

Original Post:

The shocking thing about the Shadow Resistance change for UD is that it's actually a nerf from having +10 SR at level 80. Here's how it works:

At level 80, you need 400 Resist to get 75% chance to resist a binary spell of that school. That means that 10 resist translates into a 1.475% chance to resist a binary spell. 10 resist over time should be a 1.475% reduction in damage from non-binary spells at level 80. Which puts the Forsaken change entirely at odds with all the other races who get large buffs to their resistance talents (particularly BE, who get more than double the existing damage reduction from their racial at 70, let alone 80).

Add to that the further nerf to WotF and I'm left wondering why I'm being punished for thinking that playing an Undead was a cool idea back in 2005.
