Glamour is a decent spell if you're doing older raid zones/Seb solo/duo/trio or you're the only enchanter. But these days everyone is running around in SS gear or better, so the mana efficiency isnt as relevant. It requires quite a bit of research and paying attention to mob damages to determine level. With the larger mana pools available from velious raid gear, it's not really necessary to be that efficient.

Are you saying you've used it on 56+ mobs?

Glamour i think is a complete waste of mana. Ive only had it mez a few illis frogs that the rare occurance dazzle wouldnt which very rarely happens. When in doubt just rapture.

That's pretty much true on P99, but it shouldn't be that way. It should be one of only two mezzes that works on 56+ mobs, instead of a really expensive way to mez 1 - 55 mobs with a -10 MR check. If it worked correctly, it's 150 mana less than Rapture with a 2.25 second recast time instead of 24 second, though without the same reliability of Rapture.

At this point on Live they already had the "Your target is immune to the mesmerize portion of this spell." message so they knew for sure which mobs were 56+ and which mobs weren't without calculating max hits. Too bad we don't have that message, it would only require one cast to know for sure it's broken and not just resisted.

A couple of the comments I've found so far.

I've start doing king at level 55 too, it's tough to mez those myconids, but sitll do-able. level 57+ there starts to be quite a safe camp as long as your group is balanced.
This group is prefered :
Enchanter + Cleric + Warrior + Rogue + Shaman + Druid/Wiz
and rapture is not too useful there, it tooks too much mana and refresh too slow, just cant spare one of the 8 spell slot to load Rapture. GoK is enough for those 56 mobs, and ROOT is good there too, esp. if there's no shaman and u have to do the SLOW job too.

Correct, this spell will work on Mobs lvl 56 or greater, while lesser spells in the series fail. The duration is short and the mana cost extreme. This was done to lessen the impact of the enchanter against extreme level mobs. I did some work in Sebilis against Juggernauts and it becomes quite difficult to handle 2-3 mobs of this caliber. Still, a useful spell against very high lvl mobs and a great addition to the series.
