crowd control spells

something i`ve been testing recently...

if i try to remez an enemy who has either purged or the mez has just run out it has absolutly no effect

have tested this with sorc mezzing followed by me mezzing with minstrel thats energy mez followed by body

have tested with theurg mezzing first then minstrel

i don`t get resists it just doesn`t work, however i am contantly remezzed as are my group mates in rvr sometimes 5 or 6 times in 1 fight (for decreasing times of course)

anyone else noticed this? is this how it`s meant to be? have i missed some very important part of CC?

Never noticed it to be honest.

And mezz is on 1 immunity timer. So if the game worked good for you it shouldn't matter: If you're mezzed by a bard and you purge it is impossible for an eldritch to remezz you.

You sure you dont confuse mezz with root and/or stun ? Eg. say you're stunned (which looks like mezzed in a fg fight right from the start) and you purge and get mezzed... then you're still mezzed with purge down..

yep i often get mezzed at least 2 times in 1 fight

i only had this problem against hibs. dont know why just seems to happen sometimes. maybe little bug in system, dunno. but it seems rare to happen so i just try ignore it

It shouldn’t be possible to remezz you during your 1 min immunity timer. I can’t remember if when you delve a mezz it gives the name of the spell, but if it does, send the names of them to “getlost”

Never experienced this, ive sometimes been mezzes 2 times in battle, but 60s have passed since immunity went out naturally

Ive never been remezzed, and have never remezzed anyone

Same thing with Stun to

Btw, what's so great to be an Inf without BB? :eek:

If I use purge I never have immunity on mezz.
I hate that.. but for me it seems like it shall work that way. CM will keep the immunity but not purge.. for me that is

the fact that you have honour
sure, you die alot more

bard insta mez and castable mez are on different timer

so you can be instamezzed (delve ~ 29 secs max) and aoe mezzed for 70 s straigth after

instamez would be totally useless if it gives 1 minute immunity

highest aoemezz sticks like 6-8 seconds on det 5 tanks

Lucky for bard then since healer instamez and casted AE mez is on same timer, thats why the instamez sucks so much for healers.

all mezz are on the same timer, bard insta mez *is* 1 min free immunity, which is why it's soooo highly overrated by you guys who don't take that into account.. if bard insta mez and castable mez were off different types (they are not btw, they are both Body type mezzes) then if you cast the castable mezz *before* insta mezz ran out then the castable mezz would last for full duration. if you cast castable mez after insta mez wore off, it would do nothing because of 1 min immunity..

Similarily all root/snare all have 1 timer and all stuns are same timers too, there was a bug where AE insta stun and castable ae stun from mid were on seperate timers (or more precisely the ae insta had no timer immunity related to it at all..) but I believe that was fixed last patch or so...

Very good. What if they're doing it to you at the same time?

last night I got mezzed by a sorc, when i started to get loose, I got remezzed for full duration again.. mez didnt last for 60s+ before I was remezzed.

happens rarely though and I think its some bug tbh.

Report that, you are the only 1 with that problem

And the wrongs have already been written, read the patchnotes and grabbags every now and then!
