Hey, besides the longer duration, why should an enchanter use Dazzle instead of Mesmerize ?
Be warned: If you want to refresh/overwrite a mez, it will only do so if the new spell is the same or less duration. So if you are in a heated moment and mez the mob using only lvl 4 mez, you only have a 24 seconds refresh available. (Although this is true, if you time the duration correctly, you can actually overwrite the spell at the last second before the mob is unmezed with a higher duration spell but this takes finesse/gamtexttriggers). If you try to cast dazzle on the mob, it will not take effect. If something hairy is coming down the pipeline, I recommend to cast dazzle first and then mez the small stuff/AoE mez before you just lvl 4 mez everything you see. This is more so in crazy pulls and places like Hate where you should mez appropriately for each scenario and see what the other main enchanters are using in their mez lineup.

Note: Lvl 4 mez has a higher memblur chance than any other mez innately so it should be your #1 go-to CC spell on spellbar gem 1 at all times aside from root if you play on blue because of the GCD bonus.

My main concern is about charm breaks, mesmerize seems long enough to me to have time to tash and charm again (and it also uses less mana). Which spell do u guys use (even at level 60).
Am I missing something ? For example, does dazzle resist less often than mesmerize ??
I normally handle my charm breaks like this:

1.) Color skew*
2.) Jboots/Glamour rod GCD reset
3.) Lvl 4 mez (Buys me 24 seconds)
4.) Jboots/Glamour rod GCD reset
5.) Theft of Thought (If applicable)
6.) Tashania (to refresh)
7.) Jboots/Glamour rod GCD reset
8.) Charm

The whole process takes about 4-5 seconds to lock the mob back because of how fast you can cast due to the GCD reset of a clicky item.

*I Skew first because every pet I charm has Shissar epic haste on it because I tend to solo a lot...Color flux is too short to recast allure/Boltran's and color slant takes too long to cast and might potentially get you in a nasty stun lock before you can even cast the spell (remember this pet had epic haste lol) this goes without saying that Rune and bedlam are on all the time [You must be logged in to view images.
