Mesmerizing and How it breaks?

Stevers · 08-26-2007, 06:54 PM

Okay, so many people tell me two different opinions.

When Mez'd:
Green AEs do not break mez
Blue AEs do not break mez

OR
Green AEs do not break BUT
Blue AEs DO break..

which is it? I understand if a DoT is put on the mob BEFORE he's mez'd the dot will break mez no matter what. So this being an illusy forum [and i having rolled an illusy] :-p i figured this is the best place to ask.

First one, random things are broken I believe and break it (hurricane, trample) but having a DOT on it before hand or targeting it and doing any kind of damage will break it.

There are 3 ways to break mez.

1. Attack the mob mez'd.
2. Cancel the mez on your maintained window.
3. Have an AE DoT going before the mob is mez'd.

That is it. Nothing else breaks it anymore.

4. Let it expire

What update[s] fixed this? I need more evidence than just 'these very well educated people on the message boards' to prove not so much my point, but a better raid tactic. ^ ^

If you dont know thats fine, i myself realize you all know what you're talking about a lot of you are pros at your class :0

LU13 fixed most of them. Later on the procs(+hurricane) got fixed in sometime during early EoF, I don't remember when exactly.

Pinski, what would a guard have that would break mezz aoe wide? I was in a CMM group today and the guardian was breaking the mezzes of about 4 or 5 mobs some of which were seperate encounters from the mob he was attacking and all of them were for the most part individually mezzed using our single target mezzes. The rest of the group was a warden, ranger, dirge, and a templar if maybe one of their buffs on him was doing it.

There are a few ways in which a guard can break mezzes.

1) Target the mezzed mob and hit it
2) Target the mob before it was mezzed and DoT it
3) Have an assassin giving him Apply Poison, then him AEing before the mezz, and dotting the mob
4) Same thing but with conjuror's or warlock's buff (ember seed and....i forget the warlocks)

Or, possibly, Dragoon Cyclone could be bugged and still break mezz. I never tested it formally, but i honestly don't think its bugged.
