Control Spell Effects questions.

Did some digging and managed to find out what Daze does. Prevents the target from Autoattacking. Does anyone know what Disorientation does and I'm assuming stifle prevents spell casting but does it also prevent combat arts?

There is no such thing as "Disorientation" in EQ2. These are the following control effects that exist:

Stifle - Prevents ALL abilities from being used
Daze - Prevents auto-attack from being used
Root - Prevents movement, but can still turn
Force Direction - Prevent turning
Stun - Stifle/Daze/Root/Force Direction all in 1
Prevent Target from Targetting
Prevent Target from Casting Hostile Abilities
Prevent Target from Casting Beneficial Abilities
Prevent Target from Receiving Beneficial Effects
Prevent Target from Receiving Hostile Effects

I believe that sums them all up. There might be a few more, but not many that get overly used.

mez and charm! and force target (taunt) and

disarm can probably count too as you cant cast certain skills without a weapon or shield equipped etc.

I am pretty sure that Stifle only prevents CAs and spells being used and the target can still autoattack. Stun and fear are the only control spells that stop autoattack AND CAs/spells, IIRC.

Autoattack isn't an ability you dumbshit.
