1.50c: healchant breaks mezz

[Kirin]

hmm i cant wait to get back out there and start rvrin again.. so much is gonna have changed.. Wow hibbies dont get a group heal line? that suxors.. but well, i can tell you for sure that the group heal, although it breaks mez has an extremely high mana cost, so you wont find too many clerics using it to break mez..
Im glad that they finally gave pallies something to brag about.. this is going ot make us alot more tactical than before.. Let me know how it works out when this goes live Axe, i wanna see what you think..
BTW in case your interested Axe, i checked out catacombs and came up with the following points scheme:
50 thrust, 48 chants, 8 parry, 31 shield 0 points left

This is gonna let me cash in on that highest AF chant, which ive decided is a good idea.. it leaves you with enough shield to block well and enough parry to parry a couple of times a fight.. not sure how itll work, but well see.. after doing advisors with a few ppl and testing AF chant, ive decided that its worth it to spend the 2 EXPENSIVE, yet useful points on that last chant.

That's an interesting template, I think that's a good one. I'm planning to first take all my points out of slash and throw em in Crush, then try life as a 2h crush player. When I get frustrated with that, I'll probably take all my points out of 2h and put them in shield.

I already have 8 shield, 18 parry, so I can't really do much about those if I want to have slash and 2h eliminated.

So did anyone see today's grab bag?  Seems that pallies don't have ANY chance of breaking mez anymore.  Let's hear it for whiny healers!!!

[Gueuze]

Yeah, just read that one:

Q: Will my chant/pulse/regen break mez when 1.50 goes live?

A: Only heals, from one of the healing classes, will break mez in the upcoming patch. The various pulsing chanting or regen spells do not break mez.

So much for that.  Bummer, Song of Healing might have finally had a use.  And only Hibs don't have a base group heal?  Guessing that will change.

My question is whether my cabalist life transfer will break mez... I'm not a "healer", but it is a heal-type spell...

[Axecleaver]

I'm guessing that cab heals will break mezz. But who knows til it's tested.

The paladin team lead said that paladin healchant does, in fact, break the mezz, and that the herald note is wrong. Certainly would not be the first time. There is no checking to ensure that anything there remotely approaches the truth... which is annoying.

[Gueuze]

I've heard that cab heals won't break mez, nor will shaman's Frigg heals.  The game doesn't really consider either a 'heal' per se; neither type gives xp when you heal someone PvE outside of your group like cleric heals do.  Or so I've heard.

[Kirin]

goddamit.. theyre gonna slash it before it goes live, we should know that already..
/em sobs quietly

[Nari]

I certainly hope that a few things can break mezz.  I hate standing there jumping up and down in frustration waiting for some huge ass troll to come smack me twice, maybe and kill me.  I want payback!!!!!

[Axecleaver]

Latest news is that cabalist heals don't break mezz. The paladin team lead said as late as last Friday that palain healchant WILL break mezz, despite what the Herald says. We shall see.

[Axecleaver]

Well, they yanked all the heals breaking mezz. Back to business as usual. Pretty sure I'm done with my paladin for a while. Guess I'll level up little axe and play in the battle grounds.

[Gueuze]

Real blanking nice.  Healers whine, so the ability to break mez with any type of heal is removed.  But oh, sorry healers, keep this new group heal line, because you suck so much.  Yeah right.

[Nari]

Sigh...
