Screaming Terror

[Yinikren]

It seems that, over 40-50 casts, the memblur component of screaming terror has never triggered for me. The memblur component was classic, aye? I seem to remember it having 30-50% or so chance to trigger, anyone else have any input?

[Yinaltin]

yeah i remember that too . ST had a memblur component for sure . the thing i handle this prob now since getting the spell is just fd before the spell has worn off ( sadly no messages anymore!!! ) so the mob is memblurred . but your right , the classic spell worked like a mezz with memblur !

[Yoite]

it has a memblur effect but it is more like 1% not 30%, the same as *most* enc mes. Some enc mes do have a higher chance to memblur but i dont remember which ones and i dont think they get them until 50+.

[Yinikren]

I know ST triggered 30-50% or so of the time, at least, because it dropped agro for me a lot on live. Thats also why it was only 18 seconds.

I also think the enc mezzes were a partial memblur (like concussion) rather than full-on dropped agro like screaming terror was, but I'm not 100% sure on that one.

I agree with the 30% on ST. My Live Character was a necromancer, and I would use this to power level people. Would take 4-5 casts on average for a mem-blur in my experience.

yepp i remeber something like that in kurnak too .. mezzed the burnyans or whatever this sarnak friends in fm were called :p

Byokii - I think I know you. Or partially knew you.

Were you in CoL on BB? If so, I know you kinda - i think you quit/went on holiday/etc right before I started.

yep its true, enchanter mes was the same way, often you could mes and indifferent mob and it would just walk away when mes broke, especially under lvl 30.

none of the memory blur effects seem to work correctly, if at all here, even the memory blur spell line itself.

+1

This is how I remember both enchanter and necro mez.

I don't think I've ever had atone 100% memblur a mob but I have only tried maybe 50 casts.

ST on live very commonly memblurred. As it is here, it's actually a huge agro spell and absolutely requires an FD.

(sorry for the off topic)
Yes! Thats me!

I had a son.. not enough time to play/raid on live EQ. Been putting around ever since.

Is the spell still not memblurring as far as people can tell? Don't really see the point of paying 15p for a short stun with huge aggro attached to it.

I posted a thread (http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9712) concerning how differently enchanter mesmerize performes on p1999 to EQlive, though had I noticed this thread first I probably wouldn't have made my own.

There are webarchived spell descriptions and recent videos showing how reliable mez is with memblur at low levels, but people seem to be looking at a value on lucy and unwilling to consider anything else.

1% lol.

edit: I just mezzed 20 mobs in field of bone with screaming terror (1% memblur) on EQlive, and none of them came after me after it wore off.

[Yinaltin]

bump.

maybe some info on this .

players refering it was higher than the 1 % it is here now :

method to get the mem blur effect on mobs to wipe aggro and save faction :

"All of the main guildmasters are 60+ now that kunark is out, so they are all much harder. The faction hit from "warmly" will take you to "dubiously," however it depends on how high or low your faction at warmly is, since you can have different degrees of faction within a single con. If you intend to kill him, be prepared for a lot of work to increase faction. I have also been told that he does not always drop the headband, so it will likely require multiple kills which will ensure you become VERY kos, making it very difficult to increase faction. One option is to get him to really low health, and then have an enchanter memory wipe him, a cleric atone him, or a necro do screaming terror (I think that's the spell) on him so that it wipes his aggro list and you will not get faction. Somebody else that can finish the kill will have to be willing to help, though."

please fix

havent found THE big evidence . but read this .

"Glad to hear it :) how long does it last though? Does it still wipe memory?
Or is it just like mes, in that the mob is *very* pissed at you when it
wears off?"

"No, time & again same thing, now I hear that screaming terror for Necros has likewise been nerfed not to wipe dmg memory. "
