Spells: Enchanter Mesmerize does mem wipe too frequently

[azxten]

Thanks Dolalin. A list of those resources and how to search would be great. The most interesting thing I saw so far in your links is that mem blur as an effect seems to have more nuance than it does on P99.

A "mem blur" apparently has two components. One is the reset of all damage done to the mob but no change to the aggro list itself. The other is the actual change to the aggro list which is apparently random in terms of how many people it removes and who it removes. Ranging from a complete wipe of all aggro to wipe of a single person which may not even be the caster.

There is a lot of discussion about how many times to cast mez or mem blur to be sure aggro was wiped. There is no mention of using the level 4 mez to mem blur mobs. It's like using Enthrall twice or Mez + Mem Blur + Mem Blur and so on. Lots of discussion about the best way to ensure you wiped aggro and none of them involve casting one spell let alone the level 4 one.

Tons to read there but so far it's pretty obvious P99 is a shell of how this worked on live and it's OP in the current state. Most of it reads similar to my feelings on charm and channeling. The mechanic is similar to live but it works way too well at lower levels. It's like the emulator team figured out how mez seemed to work in general for a spell like Enthrall or Dazzle and then made that the base mez function ignoring that the level 4 spell didn't work that way.
