AOE Mez - anyone else have this issue and if so, can we get it fixed?

[Juna]

<DIV>Scenario -</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>AOE Mez needed to hold down part or all of an encounter.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>You cast it on the encounter.  Your timer is about to reset.  You recast to lock down the encounter.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Your target stays mezed and the rest of the group eats you for breakfast.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Because they were immune to the aoe affect, which included your mez.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Am I just getting unlucky on resists or is this really how this spell is working?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>A frustrated Coercer trying to add CC abilities to his group.</DIV>

<DIV>AoE Mez blocks AoEs.  Thus, AoE Mez is blocked by itself!  Yah, it completely sucks, and tehre are many posts about it, and even more from when they attempted to do it before.  Responses, none.</DIV>

<P>Well here is a few hints:</P> <P>Hint1: AOE mez block only AOE .... if spell directed to target it wont get blocked ....</P> <P>Hint2: you can land encounter wide AoE stun on top of AoE mez ....</P> <P>Hint3: coercer have 2 AoE stun (technically 1 is PBAE) recast is 45s ea, duration of AOE mez 24s.... 24sX2=48s.....</P>

<P>I haven't had any problems with the group mez after LU25 that I didn't have after LU24.</P> <P>The reduction in the resist bonus from 30% to 9% is the only problem I have with it at times.</P> <P> </P> <P>I rarely run up against the time limit when I'm soloing and if I think there is a chance of that happening I cast a solo mez on the mobs I want to keep mezzed before the group mez wears off.</P> <P>Otherwise, if there are only 2 mobs I'll do a group mezz, charm one, then have it attack the other when I cancel the group mezz.</P> <P>Though, again - if the other mob is one I don't think I could survive an attack or two from I'll put a solo mezz on it before releasing the group mez.</P>

I agree, this needs to be fixed. Good luck getting a dev to read anything that needs to be fixed though...*cough*epicstun*cough*.

<DIV>Meh .....  i dont want to sound harsh it does suck, but its by no means useless... BANG AoE mez follow up other mezes keep targeting  till u see a mob whos timer is about out... wana talk about not being able to see... try princess. With Nizara hell cast ur root and and tell the tank to step back a few step IMO a coercer makes a group i should have as much say as the tank does..i make things work get the encounter spread out so you can see beter.. i also mez on the moment of pull or i actuly mez pull no huge groups and Charlie Fox trots (always wanted to say that) Oh and i use it as another sing target mez oh and i ramble on alot, and can be hard to understand at times</DIV>
