Spells: mez

[SamwiseRed]

good werk. now we just need to post proof of it landing on players on live (other than recollections) and this should be a fixed pending update.

[Alecta]

In spells.cpp, in Mob::IsImmuneToSpell add the && and the 3rd line to the condition check.

		// check max level for spell
		effect_index = GetSpellEffectIndex(spell_id, SE_Mez);
		assert(effect_index >= 0);
		// NPCs get to ignore the max level
		if(((GetLevel() > spells[spell_id].max[effect_index]) &&
			(!caster->IsNPC() || (caster->IsNPC() && !RuleB(Spells, NPCIgnoreBaseImmunity)))) &&
			!(IsClient() && caster->IsClient() )  // Added by Alecta to allow players to bypass mezz level check in pvp.
			)
		{
			mlog(SPELLS__RESISTS, "Our level (%d) is higher than the limit of this Mez spell (%d)", GetLevel(), spells[spell_id].max[effect_index]);
			caster->Message_StringID(MT_Shout, CANNOT_MEZ_WITH_SPELL);
			return true;
		}
	}

"This has been true since players could exceed mez level caps. (Kunark). Basically, player level doesn't matter for level capped spells, only mob level."

[Splorf22]

If that is true, then there needs to be separate code for blue to implement the actual classic resist system. Right now AE mez is by far the best way to handle charm breaks against summoning mobs, and with the classic resist system only 51MR should make the enchanter immune (assuming I am reading the Lucy data correctly: http://lucy.allakhazam.com/spellraw....07&source=Live). In fact I just tried to root myself on blue with 155MR and something like 40% of them were landing due to Null's crazy system.

Wait so, in classic kubark enchanters were not obsolete until rapture?

Bump with more quotes from that Dec. 2006 thread, indicating that mez still wasn't level-capped vs. players even that late in the timeline:

I swapped out my high level AE mez spell for one that hard caps at 68 (Bliss of the Nihil) specifically so that I couldn't accidentally mez myself.

First cast... I mez myself!

Apparently, hard caps only apply to mobs and not to the caster.

Level caps don't seem to apply to PCs in general, which is why mobs have no problems charming you with charm spells that have no business working on you.

Here's velious era evidence, resisted, but nonetheless:

Inb4 he's not a 60 epic bard (hint: your combat prowess lessons):

This one is screaming "fix me next"

Note its a 60 bard resisting dazzle attempts (aka you could attempt them on lvl 60 targets)

Any update?

And thanks for looking into this issue, it is a huge problem as a lvl 55 chanter.
