The AE Mez was nerfed in classic, because it was waaay overpowered. It works funny. It's one of the few spells that gets worse as *you* level. So, by being level 40 or so, it actually is *worse* than when you were level 20. I'm surprised you had luck in SolB, as I never had much luck with it when I grouped there back in my 40's. I'd get maybe 1 wave of hits, then a bunch of waves of resists, then I'd get jumped.
Is it classic to be as bad as it is? Eh, dunno. I have no references on it. But if it were to actually work as an AE mez, we'd be easily the best CC in the game. Even if it resisted just half the time, since we can recast it so much.
I find it easier to just use the single target mez.
