Coercer Questions/Help

[talbert]

<p>Some coercer questions if you will:</p><p>1) How does Amnesia work? Can't for the life of me get aggro to drop so I'm guessing I'm not understanding the spell correctly.</p><p>2) Most Popular/Useful Coercer Diety? Is there a single definitive choice we should make?</p><p>3) Having a really hard time mezzing mobs 1/2 levels higher than me (master spell). I'd go as far as to say 50% resist. Is this normal?</p><p>4) Does Subjugation Reallly help out that much for those that have chosen that AA line and equipment (+ Sub) when mezzing?</p><p>5) Perhaps my biggest issue is choosing whether to go the AA Agility Line or the Wisdom line (.ie casting speed and recovery vs Subjugation). Any input here is GREATLY appreciated.</p><p>One also thing to note is that my build/setup is mainly geared toward raiding first and instances second. Thanks for your time.</p>

Thule or Inny, leaning toward Inny.</p><p>Yeah, my mezzes get resisted a lot.  I wouldn't say 50% of the time, but for all that I have the "21% harder" on the M1 (for both my mezzes) and am over the cap on my Subjugation skill, it's not *that* uncommon to get resisted 3 or 4 times in a row either.  I'm still pumping INT and trying to get more +subj gear to see if that will help.</p><p>4 is related to 3.  I don't know personally if it helps.  Hasn't seemed to so far, but I'm only at +8 subj at the moment, so. . might make a noticeable difference later once I get more, but I wn't know until I do.</p><p>As far as the AA lines go. . . I've got STA to max heal crits, but that's all in the KoS tree.  I've got coercive healing, charm-5, and am working down the mana line in EoF tree, and once I'm done there, I'll look at my KoS tree again.  I'm still undecided whether I'll keep the heal crits and add WIS line, or add AGI, go AGI/WIS, or INT/WIS, or AGI/INT.  I'll figure that out as I get there. . . </p>

<p>I'm not 70 yet (6<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />, but I have maxed out my Subj (maxed it out AA wise) and I think it has helped a ton. Most of my ally is 70 and I've been trying to rush to catch them so that I can raid more, etc. I have both of my Mez's Mastered and I'm Mezing things that are yellow/orange to me. It doesn't land every time.....but it's pretty [Removed for Content] close. I don't get resisted often at all. I'm sure INT has a lot to do with this equation as well, so I must be fine when you combine my INT + Subj. I maxed out on resists and Subj. and I have never second guessed it. </p><p>Don't forget though, your Master Mez is 23/24% harder to resist, while your AoE Mez is 1% Easier (I think....trying to go off of memory here after a long night of drinking so go easy on me if the % isn't 100% accurate. =P), so you will get resisted a bit more on your AoE obviously. But I'm still able to land Mez's reliably on yellow/orange mobs.</p>
