Mobs Using Innate Abilities While Mezzed

Nupr · 06-26-2006, 11:09 AM

I just need confirmation that I'm not going out of my mind. While trying to complete the Nizara instance a couple days ago it seemed like at some mobs were using their innate abilities while mezzed. 3 days before that it wasn't an issue. K'hazid or however you spell the big fire elementals name did Firestorm twice while I was certain he was locked down in a mez. Stuns and stifles seemed to also have no effect on these innate types of abilities on other named mobs in the zone.

Has anyone else experienced this going on? And is this some change I missed reading about or just a bug.

I have seen the same change to the mobs in there.

First time there wasnt a problem but last night the mobs completly ignored mezz/stun/stiffle.

1 of the naga we had to let almost go oom healing her self before it whent down. We took more than 1 mil hp off her before she droped.

This has to be a bug.

Pretty sure it's a bug. They don't even say "immune" when you cast at them, like in HoF.

Charm dropes with no warning in there. Im using Domination m1 (woot!)

Either group cure still drops charm or mobs have an ability that cures it.

Group cure looks like it still removes it. Either that or it was a huge coincidence, but I had my charm drop without warning and I asked our templar if she had just group cured and she said she did. Most of the time in Nizara when my charm dropped I had the ultravision warning though.

There does seem to be some mobs in there that have a cure arcane type of spell. I've seen a few times when the convulsion spells and that "mana use causes health damage" spell have poofed off the mob when their effect or timer didn't end. I was picking up dirges most of our time there and they were fairly cooperative.
