WTF is the deal with Harmony!

[mystang89]

Just that. What the f!% is the deal with harmony. Sometimes it will pacify whatever is near and sometimes it won't do a damn thing?! I was sitting there soloing the sisters in OOT when I harmonied them and pulled one both came and destroyed me. W.....T.....F? They were harmony...Now my body is in the bottom of the ocean somewhere in OOT. Thanks whoever made harmony, GG.

i dont remember how it is on this server but i remember back in the day the spell graphic would appear above the main and the surrounding mobs so you know they were pacified

Yep that's how it is here. Make sure there's no hidden ones behind trees etc OP.

Yeah, that's what I normally go by. I cast on the main mob and look at the other mobs to be sure they are pacified which I did here too. The graphic went overtop the other sisters head and everyone was happy in their little dream world. Until a "Flame Lick" came smacking one of them in the face, then it was off to Ranger Gate city where all the little rangers go who don't know what happened to them.

yeah, lull a mob.
pull his buddy.

It seems to be happening a lot that the message lands and the mob attacks with a nearby mob. BUT, if it does just reduce (and not eliminate) aggression, it's probably just how the cookie crumbles here. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Been using this since early levels and for some reason, it's just failing a lot. Not the outright "failed" message--but successful message + adds. So, will keep an eye on it! Thanks to those who posted.

My lull is doing the same thing. Casts. Gets a messaged that the mob has been made less aggressive, then both (or more!) come running. I haven't seen that before. I just figured that some mobs can't be lulled? If that's the case, wouldn't they just show an resist message?

Didn't there use to be 3 ways it could land?
1. Full resist which caused agro
2. Partial resist where the spell doesn't land but no agro is generated.
3. Fully landed.

Not with Harmony. I played a druid and soloed a ton back in the day on live and thus used Harmony quite a bit. I never experienced the weird agro of mobs and failure of the spell to land on them. It wasn't a spell that could agro or be resisted. It never was.

Countless times on P99 I'll Harmony a trio of mobs on my ranger, pull and get 1, 2 or all 3 even after the graphic has clearly landed on all 3 targets.

Something is definitely different in the way it works here on P99. It's one of those spells I used so often that the difference here is quite obvious.

You know to lull mob A and pull mob B, right? Lulling a mob and them pulling it does nothing; we gotta lull its buddies so they don't assist. Is that the issue?

Also, harmony and other lulls reduce a mob's aggro radius, but do not eliminate it. If it's close enough to another mob, it will still aggro. We're these two mobs close together?

That could be the issue. I know that the orc camps in EC you could split just fine with harmony and if you cant do that on p99 then there is a problem.
