Charm and mez

[Laereneth]

<DIV>I was about to create a Troub and was just cuirous on the charm and mez.  I had a good idea about how they worked prior to the big patch change that helped enchanters and lowered the stun/mez time on all other classes.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Question is, what is the duration/recast of your charm and mez currently?  And can you keep more than one target mezzed if you focus on it?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I really enjoyed how the bard worked in EQ1 and those were some class defining skills back then.  I was curious if they're still functional now.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks in advance for your time!</DIV> <DIV>Laer</DIV>

so the lvl 50 mez has a 28 sec duration and a 15 sec recast   , 1,5 sec cast time the lvl 70 mezz : same thing but with a 32 sec duration t7 charm : 2,5 secs casting time   and 14 secs duration with a 45 second recast ( the timer on the recast starts when the charm is broken/dispelled ) same thing for the lower tiers but shorter duration , the lvl 20 charm lasts 8 seconds to say troubys were supposed to be mini chanters ... <div></div>

There's nothing left to nerf :pOr I dunno... guess SoE "could" nerf something (for the hell of it, wouldn't surprise). If they're really that set on lowering troub population from one of the least played (think chanters beat us there) to non existant.

What I'm thinking is that they're going to do the same thing to bards as what they did to chanters. They took what defined the chanters, and nerfed all the other classes version of it. So, logically, what they would do is make it so that no class can auto-follow except for bards.

<P>A little story about how bad Mez/Charm is for Troubs.  This took place a little bit after the latest adventure pack was released.</P> <P>I was asked to join a Niz group from an ex-guildie.  When he asked, he stated that they need someone to mez/charm.  I told him that since they nerfed our mez/charm, I can only lock down 1 mob instead of the 3/4 I could do before.  He comes back with oh wait, an enchanter has decided to go with us and they don't have any more room.  Now I don't blame him for that, a mezzer is required for the zone and the nerfed Troub just couldn't do the job.  </P> <P>I've learned to deal with it though...  I started a Monk.  J/K.  </P> <P>I do have an alt monk but the Troub remains the main in hopes that they will in this century or the next throw us a bone.</P> <P> </P>
