Sign of Weakness

<DIV>And other AOE debuffs.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My question is what do they hit and what is the effect on agro/mez.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Primarily do they cause adds or just effect all mobs in the same group.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Do they break mez or other simular effect and what is the relative effect of agro.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have been afraid to cast it in many situations and haven't been able to test it.</DIV>

<DIV>All AE spells are encounter only. So no worries hehe.</DIV>

<DIV>Is that just our spells or wizard type also?  I have been trying to figure out what the beetle adds in COB are from.  I have noticed that a rare combo HO seems to trigger a AE damage effect that causes adds.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I will try casting it more and see what the effect it.  My weakness is grey and being restisted too often.  </DIV>

<DIV>Some AOE are encounter only and some are actual area.  If the background of the spell is green, its encounter only.  If its blue, then you will hit your encounter as well as non agroed mobs in the vecinity.</DIV>

<DIV>Sigh, guess I will just have to stop getting distracted and try it myself.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What color is distract?  So far it seems to send everything in range, agro or non agro onto the tank but they are usually dead so I end up trying to heal the HP gimpy mage.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This spell is a death sentence when soloing.  I might as well be bleeding in a shark tank.</DIV>

<DIV>I use signs on multiple mob pulls and regular weakness on single pulls..BUT I dont even bother with debuffing until I am sure I have healing under control.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I do the same thing when I solo and dont have any problems with it.</DIV>

SoW doesnt break mez and is encounter only. The only way priests can do a non encounter AoE is to finish a HO wheel that does a melee AoE effect (so sometimes not finishing a HO is the best thing that can happen to your group).In beta all melee AoE were non encounter, but they changed it and now a good proportion of them is encounter only (don't ask me which, fighters do know).
