I think AE Mez is a valuable tool to use but needs to be practiced so that you don't accidentally mez yourself.

As for specialization, I did go for conjuration as this is the primary skill for mezzing. Somewhere around velious I switched this to alteration as I became more of a buffbot than crowd control and being an enchanter became a lot less fun.

Thanks again for the info on this thread, have referenced it quite a bit now. Couple more questions.

Just used AE mez in combat for the first time the other night... yep, mezzed myself. How do you use it and avoid that?

If you are in a group setting are you using your debuffs (besides tash) very much/ever? I am only 23 at the moment and have mainly been in Oasis and Unrest; the majority of what I have been doing is tash, stuns, slows, quickness, and pretty rarely the odd mez. Without clarity I hover around 20-30m casting 1-3 spells per mob. That sounds about right? Any other suggestions for eeking a little bit more utility and advantage to my groups out of this toon?

Also, maybe a dumb question, but how do you specialize? At the trainer selecting what you want and hitting TRAIN, just trains it one skill point (3plat worth!)... is there a /specialize alteration command or something?

Specialisation comes on the first skill you raise over 50 if i remmeber right.

As for mesmerisation, learn the area it covers, and keep clear of it. At higher levels and with higher MR, you ressist it fairly often.

As for spells on mobs, only do whats nessesary. If healing is good on mana, you can save on slow, if no magic based casters and/or if the mobs arent too ressistant, no need for tash etc.

Basicly pace yourself when it comes to efford. Maybe not so much now, but when you start doing dungeons etc, you want to have that manapool as topped as possible in case a train shows up.
