Gravity flux hitting caster no matter what
for whatever reason gravity flux seems to hit the person who casts it if they are in the AoE, even if the cast it in the middle of 4 mobs.
tested it 4 mobs + caster in range = caster hit along with 4 mobs 5 mobs + caster safely out of range = 4 mobs hit hit. none hit caster | ||

Also tested 5 mobs + caster all in range with flux but targeting center of pack of mobs. 4 mobs hit, caster also hit, 5th mob unscathed despite being right next to the center of the target.

Mesmerization is the same, so I assume all the targeted 4 mob aes work like this. You'll notice if you target yourself it only hits you +3 mobs instead of 4. No idea what classic behavior was.

Mesmerization was originally a 'hang in the air (at the target)' effect. I'm not sure what the maximum targets were, was it four?
Here are some threads with people talking about it. http://web.archive.org/web/200105300...c&f=9&t=004411 http://web.archive.org/web/200105300...9&t=004473&p=3 Not seeing anything specific about grav flux after a quick search. I'll try again later. | ||

Actually according to this in-era Enchanter guide I just found, Mesmerization's max capacity was 5 ('including yourself', which is a little vague...):

Almost every green AE should be 5 target with exception of most damaging AEs which are 4 target.
Caster is not a factor in hit count for AEs. It will hit 5 NPCs + Caster or 4 NPCS + Caster in the case of damaging non-Al'Kabor AEs.

AE targets are selected by "newest in zone". For example if you are killing the same 4 wyverns in CS over and over as they respawn. Then you decide to grab a new pack of 4 Othmirs, and your 4 wyverns add mid-kite you snare them all up and continue AEing, your next AEs will hit 4 wyverns 100% of the time because they freshly spawned and are the newest mobs in the zone. It does not matter proximity to your target so long as they are within the area of effect.
Self should always be hit and always not factored into the count of AEs. Even rains which are limited to 4 hits, it will hit 4 NPCs but self all 3 waves in addition if you are in the area.

Just for completeness, here's a screenshot I just found from the Kunark era of a 5 target grav flux. Does not include caster though.
