How player resists work - Phoenix Freeshard

I am pretty sure everyone has the same resist rates with spells and higher resists does not provide me with a greater chance to resists spell, but just want to make sure and confirm that this is true.

Example: I have capped (26%) Body resists. It does not decrease the chance for me to resists mez. However, it does decrease the time I am mezzed for and it does decrease the damage I take from body type spells. Is this correct?

As you say, it shouldn't change the chance to outright resist a spell only lowers the damage you take from a spell of that damage type, and I believe reduces the duration of crowd control spells, though the particulars of that are unclear on this server.

The chance to resist a spell or for one of your spells to be resisted (at least on live long ago) was supposed to be based on the level of the spell you are casting compared to the level of the target mob/player you are casting on. The rate, i believe, used to be 0.5% more chance of a resist the wider this gap. There is some base chance for a spell to be resisted, say 5% or 10% and then this calculated amount based on the level of the spell being cast and the level of the target of the spell was then added to this resist chance.

Is it possible to get a confirmation of how resisting of spells is calculated on this server? More specifically what values are taken into consideration? Spell level, caster level, target level, modified magic level, etc. I'm interested in the cases of CC but I suppose this applies to landing all spells?
I've heard so many opinions and conflicting information I don't know what to believe.
Thanks!
