I think the fizzle rate might be a bit too low too. Especially on the Cannibalize line of spells, these had a much higher rate of fizzling on live compared to other spells.
Honestly I think NPC channeling is fine. I've seen raid mobs channel gate with a serious push being applied. Aaryonar on the Velious beta server was insane, we were pushing her all the way down the hall and she would still channel gate. I don't even remember her using gate on live, and if she did it was insignificant because I don't remember her ever gating even after dozens and dozens of kills. I'd maybe even suggest NPC channeling rates to be lower, but Nirgon might pop a blood vessel at such a suggestion.
