single target . 17second recast time. 3minute timmer. for breeze is quite harsh. Does it ever become group? or does the cast time decrease or the timer increase? Thanks <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<DIV>Earlier in this thread there is an excellent discussion on this very thing. I can summerize it for ya though and that is the cost of this spell makes it important to whom you actually keep this spell on. Does a tank really need it? Does that over nuking wizard deserve it? Well you get the drift.</DIV>

<DIV><STRONG>You bet! </STRONG>Tank are scream bloody hell if they dont get crack timely mostly tough its concerns berserker and shadowknights. I can somethat undestand that and even simphatize but ... its arent gona happend if we have multiple pull or I do my DPS routine - only if I have nothing better to do but buff then I can trow breeze on berserker (rage eat zerk power very fast)</DIV>

<DIV>I kinda like it...   Certainly shows a skill difference between those in our class.  It took a little time to get a system down but I can keep all 6 in the group with Breeze plus still make the mezs, and keep an eye out for adds.  Granted I don't get to nuke to often... But hey I am here to assist not tank.</DIV>

<i>If (lots of mobs are not mezzed) and (mez spell is available) then Target mob, hit mez buttonelsif (player has mez recharge timer below half) then Target player, cast buff.else rest for a short moment while waiting for one of the above.end if.</i>If that's all you do then you suck.I'm casting stuns. I'm laying out DoT's. I'm stifling. I'm looking for adds. Etc., etc., etc.The skill lies in being able to do all that, at the same time, making good decisions all the while. Should I lay down DoT's or am I going to need to breeze the healer now? Oops, the tank died because I didn't get a stun in! Doh. You get the picture.If it were so darn easy then there'd be a lot more enchanters than there are. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Sillious Aurelius, Illusionist/Tailor of Everfrost.
