Unstoppable Madness

[Huntrare]

Hi,
First of all this is not a nerf topic, so I dont want ppl to jump on it.
But I do want to know is this:
Im a marks lvl 52 and a barb is running after me and i cast Burst of Wind on him, but ofc it didnt work since he had UM. But on screen it says,"Success" while in reality it is resisted.
So my question is:Why in the combat log doesnt show that it had been resisted??? I dont think this happens to me only.

It is a old feature,show succes but for dmg only,dizzy does not affects barb with UM.
And BoW it is dmg +dizzy spell.
A resist means ,he resist even at dmg not only at dizzy effects.

BoW has no dmg

It's the same with knocks, wondering if they will ever do something about it.

The topic isn't really good. This thing isn't related only on Unstoppable Madness.
You can see things like this when you cast dizzy/imobilize/knock spells on a conjurer who use and have enabled Mind Blank.

In my opinion, devels made a programing layer that need a complete rewriting because like you said theses spells shoul be resisted in combat log like others normal resist, this is what saying the spells description :P There is resists and .... resists :P Two kind of resistance :]

When a spell is shown as "resisted" in the log, it means it didn't pass the simple random spell resist layer. Then there's no clue if the associated CCs of the spell do pass the CC resistance layers from specific buffs.

So to summarize, the spell itself wasn't resisted, but its CC got resisted by UM, which isn't shown in the log at the moment.

It's actually pretty simple:

The spell itself was succesfull, but because of unstoppable madness it had no effect on the barbarian.

So it didn't really get resisted.

It works the same way as Mindblank, Defensive Support and Warmaster Beacons. "Success" means it made it through the spell-resist layer but if the effect didn't stick it means it did not make it through the "resist effect" layer.

Resisting a spell, and resisting a spell's effects are two different things.
