So there I was, strolling through Jarsath Waste, when I see one of those sabretooths on a ?. I mezz the sabretooth and it takes. The cat stares at me blindly and I laugh at the thought of a free shiney. I go up to the ? to harvest it and get one shotted. Mezz was up and active but I got meleed. I figured I messed up somehow, and tried it again, with the same result. So I took the less lazy approach and killed the bastard to get my ?.

Today.. I'm in Maidens, mezzing Sandstorm's adds. They're mezzed, I see the icons up on the toolbar, all is going well. Then the healers move to get better LoS on the tank, and end up next to the adds. The healers die to 'mezzed' melee (or CA) from the adds. I get lots of idiot illus comments from them when I try to explain that for some reason my mezzed mobs meleed them, which makes me sad

I don't get it. I take off proc gear so I'm not breaking mezz. I have adept3 t8 ... maxed subjugation with some subj gear.. with AAs in the root/mezz tree. But my mezz seems to be mostly a glorified root as you can still get hit if you're in melee range. My t7 mezz works better than the t8 one atm.

Is this a bug? Has anyone else had problems? Or anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening? Please keep 'hey idiot' posts to yourself.. this is an honest question and I'm very frustrated atm.

thanks

quick edit: This is in regards to the t8 single target "mindless" mezz. Haven't noticed the same issue with the grp mezzes but then I don't use them nearly as much.

Never had the problem with mezzes. stun/stifle/daze are something different, as in you won't see an icon on the mob but your spell has 'landed'.

I normally mez the bruiser sister in Maidens and she has killed people who were stood right next to her. I was told she can aoe through mez so I'm just telling people not to stand in range.

I had this happen as well. I try to catch her on one side, group moves the other 2 hags opposite of me. Either way I am a giant chicken and I never stand close to a mob unless there is tank with me.

There has been some talk that the t7 single mezz works better. Any thoughts on this? I know it's SHOULDN'T be that way...but...yeah. I'm still using the t7 mezz now and it works just fine. (I'm not going to pay some asshole 80 plat).

Is subjugation still a factor? Manyak or somebody told me to pump up my subj. When I used to go into Nizara with a questionable group, I threw on as much subj. gear as possible and that always seemed to help.

I mezzed a sister with t7 single target mezz, but she has attacked near people.

yawgmoth

you do know that you can only mezz the sister with the name starting with a D?

I'm seeing a lot of stuff like this while soloing in rok with my 72 illusionist. I haven't upgraded to any T8 spells... some mobs I stun/root/daze/stifle and it lands... but is immediatly dispelled or bugged and doesn't stick. Usually when it does land it sticks, but sometimes I can have a mob standing next to me dazed and stifled and it still attacks me. Other random solo mobs are just plain immune.
