Still getting resists

No pictures or anything but I'll start recording everything I do to get some proof, I'm still getting resisted constantly through 7.29% spell hit and 73 spell pen (I know the pen is still not 100% resistance proof but it's damn close). Classes that I shouldn't need ANY of these stats for are still resisting me far too often, the chance to resist any of my fire spells as a warrior should be 1%, yet I see them resisting incinerate/immolate once every few duels. Anybody else seeing this?

I've had some resist probs lately. Spell hit a ~5% iirc, 40+ spellpen. First I thought it was just really, REALLY bad rng. But it seems to be a bit iffy,

It got worse after the "spell-pen is awesome" update.

Seems that everyone has 50+ res. Nice.

When I made the patch, I set up a macro on my g11 keyboard to launch 1000 frostbolts and 1000 firebolts against various player targets. My results overall were around 1% resist vs targets with 0 resistance and also 70 resistance vs 70 spell penetration. I can run the tests again to double check the results.

Resists has always been around when playing this piss-shitty expansion. But from one day to another, my shit got resisted way waaaaay more by everyone. 3/4 nova resists here, 2/3 nova resists there, full shatter resisted twice, a couple of cs's etc.
Every bg.
Either my rng that day was fucking horrible, or something is off somewhere. Neither would surprise me tbh.

I understand resists sometimes on things like shadowfury or nova due to talents increasing resist chance to snare/stuns and whatnot. But I get random resists in incin and immolate a lot. Maybe try the macro again with more spells?

I've bitched about this for months, you'll only be met with "You have only a 1% chance to miss,clearly RNG hates you." When it seems more like 9%. It's "working as intended" after all.
