I still used it (many others did as well)... but you had to follow some rules. Remember I am talking about the old days here, and mezzing might have changed :< > < > 1. Know the resist rates of your targets. Dont try to AoE mezz creatures that seem to resist you a lot (duh).< > < > 2. Dont try to aoe mezz creatures higher level than you< > < > 3. Expect one or two to resist, and mezz those single target (ie AOE Mezz, bounces on one, mezz that one single target).< > < > 4. Direct your tanks to the mobs you have AoE mezzed first, rather than the one single target mezzed. Tanks (probably still) will usually come for the one single target mezzed... because it will be the one away from the group, and closest to you (because it ran to you on the bounce). Direct them AWAY from this mob and back to the group of aoe mezzed mobs.< > < > That last one is important enough that I would work it out ahead of time with your group if they dont know your style. I used to (if I was NOT with guildies or people who knew my style) tell the group I would stand next to the next mob, and then direct them by saying "this one".. this one next etc.< > < > < > Every time i get the urge to play, I remember its been litterally 2 years, and I wouldnt have spells, levels, needed AAs etc.... I still get urges to play this damn game but Im so far behind now that It would be stupid.< > < > < >
