PLEASE Help Troubadors who Mesmerize but have AGI AA line.

<p>Poison Concoction is a big problem for Troubadors who are trying to solo.</p><p>I was able to solo the 'solo' mobs before ok without having to Mezz them, but now these 70+ 'solo' mobs in Kunark are seriously kicking my butt unless i try to mez them to regen some health. But this dang 'Poison Concoction' is getting in the constantly. It automatically DOT's the mob and then I cant Mez it since it will be taking damage from the DOT. I know I can right-click the icon on the side of the screen and select 'remove' before I want to mez but that is a real pain when trying to fight and by then time i get that done and then mez - I'm often dead.</p><p>I really dont want to drop the AGI AA Line ( My wife begs me not to get rid of the line so I can Group Invis her toon. )</p><p>So - Is there something we can do so this terrible 'Poison Concoction' which is preventing us from mezzing the mob we are fighting, either by:</p><p>1) Turn it on/off - WHY cant I just say 'I dont want to use this stupid skill'?? - have it be like these other songs - I'll cast it if I want it up, or remove it if I am going to try so solo something.</p><p>2) -or- can we get a Macro Command to turn it off.</p><p>3) -or- Change this skill to be a 1 time hit and not a DOT</p>

<p>I just respec'd into the AGI tree yesterday.  I've played a monk to 80 and have toyed around with their AA's a lot.  Monks get a single target proc from their AA tree that is also 'always on'.  Yet on the other hand their AoE proc from the AA tree is an on/off buff that you can turn on or off at will.  I think if you make enough of a gripe about it or catch a developers ear about it that you could probably get the buff changed to one you can turn on and off much like Fortissimo is.  </p><p>Personally I haven't had to do much mezzing, mostly because groups just break it anyways.  I'll roll the dice on a charm instead if things get dicey.  I do solo a lot but I'm not at T8 yet so I can't speak for how difficult it will be to solo then.  Obviously something like a DoT that you can't turn off creates issues for crowd control or makes the AA a no use due to how an encounter functions. </p>

Not the solution you are looking for, but have you considered speccing 6-8-8-0-2 in AGI instead? It would at least let you keep group invis and let you mezz again until this problem may be fixed.

<p>>> 6-8-8-0-2</p><p>Duh - why didnt I think of that??? your right, not the solution I am hoping for, but for now that works.</p><p>Thx for the idea verydanger - I'm doing it! </p>
