Aoe mez not being over written by higher level mez
The level 16 AoE mez cannot be over written by the level 39 or 49 mez. It simply says "your spell did not take hold". Makes group crowd control tough. On live, single target mez was able to over write AoE mez.

I can definitely corroborate that. Single mez should always override AoE mez (barring a resist).

Anyway, the behavior described by the OP is incorrect. During classic, single mez would always override AoE mez. Pretty sure this is common knowledge among enchanters.

Hey, I'd love to see this change because it would make my life easier.
But generally speaking, the devs are going to believe the guy writing in 2001 over the guy writing in 2012 about how he remembered things. So if you want to get it changed, dig up some posts talking about how you can overwrite AE mez with Dazzle. p.s. I could be wrong, but I bet you can overwrite mesmerization with both another mesmerization and with L4 mesmerize. | ||

fwiw, this isn't a foggy memory. I'm 100% dead sure it was this way, since I did it probably thousands of times. Actually, it was AoE mez to stop the train, tash/dazzle, tash/dazzle, tash/dazzle, tash/dazzle. Tash/slow main target. Repeat single mezzes. And so on. Isic, do you know if this just start happening recently or has it always been this way on this server? My main was a chanter back in the day, but is an SK here.

I always suspected this was wrong! Thank yall for bringing it up =) On P99, I remember AoE Mesmerizing kobolds in SolB before Kunark dropped, then getting flattened by the ensuing train because I couldn't single-target Mez any of them because they were already AoE Mezzed. My tactic at that time was to AoE Mez, then Tash and root each one, then single-Mez after AoE Mesmerization broke. It was incredibly mana-intensive, but manageable after the spawn times were broken up. It would be so cash if single-target Mezzes could overwrite Mesmerization, which is level 16 and doesn't last as long as single-target.

I stand corrected, as the evidence is pretty overwhelming that single mez did NOT override aoe mez.
This must have been changed somewhere around Velious, but it is not explicitly mentioned in the patch notes. I wish I had kept logs back then.
