I have used Null Caress and Vulian Nullification after i have gotten aggro and the teleport did not work as the mobs were put right on top of me and still beat me down.

Bingo..this right here is why it is rarely used by me. Its a OMG Im about to die, roll the dice skill. If it said randomly transported an enemy or group of enemies 25 meters away Id probably use it more. As it is, it can port it a foot away and does absolutely no good at all. I also have to agree on the deaggro. When Im casting nukes that do an average of 3000 points a hit, an 800 point reduction isnt going to help much, especially when coupled with the hate gained simply from porting the mob. Id much rather root and run..at least I know that has some chance of sucess.

Well guess what? :smileyvery-happy: my main char is coercer .... thus I am telling you coercer DO have dispatch ... not as good as brigand (that why I calling it ghetto dispatch) .... Name of this spell is Marred Psyche - reduce resistance vs. ALL magic damage (aka magic, divine, mental, poison, desease, fire, cold) -1024 for 72second and have reasonably fast recast timer

The spell can be very useful in situations where you have adds, You can root the add cast null caress and with a bit of luck it will be teleported away from the encounter, rather than just a few feet away.

However it always comes with a risk, If you use the spell and the mob would otherwise be teleported into a wall its teleported directly on top of you which is of no help to anyone.

The other problem is that if you teleport the mobs away and they land in amongst other mobs and people continue to use combat arts etc it will bring adds due to social aggro.

I think if both these points were fixed it would be a great spell but you currently have to use it in very specific circumstances now otherwise you can just get yourself into deeper [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn].

That said I still like it and it has save myself and groups I have been in more than it has caused problems.
