generally speaking, the devs are going to believe the guy writing in 2001 over the guy writing in 2012 about how he remembered things. So if you want to get it changed, dig up some posts talking about how you can overwrite AE mez with Dazzle.

I agree with you. I don't have time to search right now though.

fwiw, this isn't a foggy memory. I'm 100% dead sure it was this way, since I did it probably thousands of times. Actually, it was AoE mez to stop the train, tash/dazzle, tash/dazzle, tash/dazzle, tash/dazzle. Tash/slow main target. Repeat single mezzes. And so on.

Isic, do you know if this just start happening recently or has it always been this way on this server? My main was a chanter back in the day, but is an SK here.

I always suspected this was wrong! Thank yall for bringing it up =) On P99, I remember AoE Mesmerizing kobolds in SolB before Kunark dropped, then getting flattened by the ensuing train because I couldn't single-target Mez any of them because they were already AoE Mezzed. My tactic at that time was to AoE Mez, then Tash and root each one, then single-Mez after AoE Mesmerization broke. It was incredibly mana-intensive, but manageable after the spawn times were broken up. It would be so cash if single-target Mezzes could overwrite Mesmerization, which is level 16 and doesn't last as long as single-target.
