NEWB: How does AE work in groups etc?

[Videri]

Look how welcoming they are here, wishing you good luck and thanking you for your comment! Meet the trolls.

Firstly, there is no immunity - AE spells do affect group members and guildmates. However, people put on a lot of magic resistance gear, so in a well-geared group, you can often do magic-based AEs without affecting groupmates. The only thing is, their pets will attack you and they'll have to call them off.

Oddly, I rarely see enchanters use the AE mez. I think people here are much more careful when pulling because an overpull makes you vulnerable to PvP.
