What does that mean? I have never missed with a spell. If it means reduces chance to resist by 2%, that's what it should say.

Do you remember discussions on what was happening internally with game for awhile concerning block/dodge/parry all being labeled as 'miss'; in particular for the warriors gaining rage. http://www.lurkerlounge.com/forums/index.p...indpost&p=66935
I had mentioned in an even early thread about wand usage that the same sort of thing was going on with casting spells and wand usage; the various non-hit results like miss/dadge/parry/block that had been getting displayed at the start of closed beta had at one point been changed to all display as 'Resist'. To me it looks like in trying to hide what they felt were not the most approrpriate messages to show the players, that they change how some were displayed to the player instead by causing them to be 'mislabled' as were with a more 'Game Imersion Correct' label.
I do agree that mages and such do not hardly ever have problems with their spells till they either run into a mob that is couple level higher or has a noticeable amount of resistance that class of spells effects. The first case I listed is the most likely case where one will start seeing the usefulness of the :Improves your chance to hit with spells by X%."
