Maybe I'm jumping the gun here. I logged into my bard and tried to mez 1 mob that was blue to me at level 26 (thought it was 27), and I was able to keep him mezzed (without recasting) indefinitely. Never a resist.
Then I logged onto my friend's 60 bard to test. Level 60 mezzing a group of the same mobs, constant resists. Rarely it would land on 1 out of 6 mobs, but the next cast would resist on the same mob, and then full resists, then back to 1 out of the 6 being mezzed while the rest resisted again.
If it's intended so that higher level bards aren't mezzing entire swarms of green mobs. then that is totally fine. I don't mind that a bit. Definitely seems like it would be overpowered.
But if I can't AE mez mobs that I would be exping on (blues, whites, etc.), then I'd say that spell is broken, or nerfed enough to completely break it. Is this going to change on me as I level up, and the spell is useless?
The balance is that it doesn't last more than 1 tick, so you can't twist while keeping a group of 4 mobs mezzed. The bard is locked down at this point. Whereas an enchanter with an AE mez has time to do whatever else is needed since his AE mez lasts a lot longer (still not as long as a single target mez of course).
