While they don't mention it on the telescope, people do discuss cooldown resetting in relation to the earring that drops off Grachnist. While not the majority, enough players knew of that trick that I wouldn't classify it as "rare." I saw folks doing it once in awhile. To a degree players were scared of talking about "powerful tricks" as openly as we do here on P1999 out of fear of Verant nerfing them.

If Daldaen is right--I can't say, I did not play an Enchanter, then or now--it might explain the difference we see. Mez might blur quite a bit, but if it only does it on an initial cast, not on refreshes, then more and more aggro would be piling up.

Speaking of nerfs, P1999 does not appear to replicate the "Great Lull Nerf" that lasted from early Classic until mid-Luclin at least, or whenever the lull line was revamped. Those spells were nerfed host-side, not client side, so it doesn't show up in the spelldata files used by P99 as a basis for its spell information. Can't say I mind, my Paladin enjoys having a reliable means of splitting and it could be argued the spells were "broken" since a spell that can't be effectively used for its designed purpose is hardly working correctly.
