I thought Torpor was group only on P99 anyways, maybe I'm wrong. Here is a post talking about Torpor being group only (in era)

Something I'd forgotten from my earlier years with Stupor;
these spells can be cast only on group members. Too much opportunity to
mess with people by slowing and snaring them, I guess.
Was interesting seeing that you essentially couldn't walk backwards while torpor was active, essentially had to turn around, walk away from mob, then spin back to face them. Mentions it was a pain on summoning mobs to tank. Maybe P99 already works this way:

Actually, the biggest problem with Torpor is the snare; its really
noticable, I move forward at a walk, and can barely back up at all. On
summoning mobs, this is a pain because from time to time, even though
I'm in melee range, they summon me anyway, pulling me forward to where
I'm no longer facing them; positioning so the rest of the team is behind
the mob becomes difficult. Normally, I'd just back up to get position
back under control, but now I have to turn, move forward slowly, then
spin back around. Thats a pain.
