<div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div>This is one of the three spells we got in Desert of Flames.  The spell is supposed to remove a bunch of effects including fear, stun, root, stifle and pacify, and is castable while a player is under any of those conditions.  Lockeye has stated that it is working as intended and that we should compile a list of mobs on which their effects are not curable by this spell.  So let's do it =)  I will update this post as people add this info.  Please post the date (if one is available) that you used the ability and it did not cure the mob's effect. ~ Generally uncastable when Feared Moonchild in Courts of Al'afaz (does not cure stun - confirmed April 8th, 2006)Cazel in Cazel's Mesa (does not cure stun - well known, but no recent confirmation) Akhmun Rhoen (confirmed April 10th, 2006) The Uncaged Alzid in Laboratory of Lord Vyemm (not castable when feared - confirmed April 11th, 2006)Djinn Master (does not cure stun)Mutagenic Outcast (does not cure stifle)Terrorantula in the Sinking Sands<p>Message Edited by Sokolov on <span class=date_text>04-18-2006</span> <span class=time_text>08:44 AM</span>

OK, here's mine. <STRONG> Casel</STRONG> in Casel Mesa (DOF instance zone).  VOA is COMPLETELY useless against that mob.  His main attack and strength is that crippling stun and if you can't cure/avoid it your goose is cooked basically.  This happened continuously about 2-3 months ago every time I went into that instance without a Templar healer along.  (Sorry dont have exact dates).

Akhmun Rhoen - confirmed 2 nights ago.<div></div>

<div></div>The Uncaged Alzid in Laboratory of Lord Vyemm.  Spell is uncastable when his fear goes off.  4/11.<div></div><p>Message Edited by Rasun on <span class=date_text>04-12-2006</span> <span class=time_text>08:11 PM</span>

<P>I have to be honest - I have never <U>once</U> got this spell work whilst feared. Not once. Never. </P> <P>"you cannot cast whilst fleeing"</P>

<P><FONT size=2>    Agreed ~ for the umteenth time it does NOT fit the spell description.    I wont say its " broken " anymore since that term can be turned inside out...  but i have never been able to cast it while feared...working as intended eh?? </FONT></P> <P><FONT size=2>    There's plenty of posts about specific mobs on these forums but that isnt the real issue.   The problem is with the spell not fitting the description.   There is no specification on when a control effect is curable...it says  ALL.   </FONT></P> <P><FONT size=2></FONT> </P> <P><FONT size=2> ~ Marius Darkchyld ~   69 Defiler</FONT></P> <P><FONT size=2>       * Talisman *           Nagafen</FONT></P> <P><FONT size=2></FONT> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

<div></div>It was so irritating that it did not cure Cazel that I would never go to that zone unless there was a Temp with us.I'll keep my aye out for more cases.<div></div><p>Message Edited by sostrows on <span class=date_text>04-15-2006</span> <span class=time_text>09:10 AM</span>

I never got stunned by moonchild so I can't say vs that mob. Also in labs I havn't been feared yet while others in tge raid party were, so I can't say on that mob either. I did have it work in Vaults when I got feared by some adds.It could have been a co-incidence where the fear wore off as I cast VOA, but unlikely. I'll keep note of when this doesn't work to cure other control effects im currently under. Truth be told I sometimes forget I have this spell a lot of times, due to its false advertising. I also know it didn't work for Cazel's, but it's been months since i've been in that zone. (adept3 of VOA) I'll also note it does work in duels for curing a mez/fear/stifle but I could care less as I mostly PVE.<div></div>

[Devizi]

Not sure if this was added yet but, it doesn't work in the new raid zone on the Essence mob.  It's a shame we have such a cool spell that doesn't even benefit us. Dephier Blackburrow <div></div>

[Sokolov]

"Essence?"  I have not had the privilege of encountering this mob yet, can you elaborate?  Zone?  What effect(s) are uncurable? <div></div>

[Rasun]

Essence of Fear, a named mob in the Lyceum.  Though it's another Fear effect.<div></div>

[Kimage]

<P>The only time I have ever encountered it not working ( and I use it quite often as I have the tank I ususally group with call out when he is stuned, stifled, etc. ) is when we were in Lab and I got feared. Since we cantt cast on the run - hence it will not work while feared. I think that is the reason why we can't use it while feared. My tank got feared on the named skelly snake in roost and I was able to break it with VoA .   This is only my expierence.</P> <P> </P>

[Sokolov]

Yea, it definitely does work on the Roost mob.<div></div>

When posting about mobs, please specify zones, effects, and dates whenever possible =D  Let's give the devs no excuse.Also, if you KNOW an epic mob whose effect that it DOES work on, we should post those too.<div></div>

[masoninc61]

<DIV>I seem to remember a red name saying that certain mobs stun is marked as uncurable, and its up to the encounter's designer to change it.  But I hope they do change that :/</DIV>
