NogueiraA Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I'm trying to figure out why Flash bang lasts 8 seconds, all the mezzes like Whirlwind, Sap and intimidating roar lasts 6 seconds, why 2 seconds more on flash bang? Imperial Agents and Smugglers ALREADY has a 4 sec stun which NOT break on damage. If someone can explain to me, I thank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashogy Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 iirc, the only mez that doesnt last 8s is the warrior/knight aoe mez, which lasts 6s. all other mezzes last 8s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTomorrow Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 iirc, the only mez that doesnt last 8s is the warrior/knight aoe mez, which lasts 6s. all other mezzes last 8s Lol op, learn the abilities before coming to cry for another sniper nerf.

Zoiks Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) I'm trying to figure out why Flash bang lasts 8 seconds, all the mezzes like Whirlwind, Sap and intimidating roar lasts 6 seconds, why 2 seconds more on flash bang? Imperial Agents and Smugglers ALREADY has a 4 sec stun which NOT break on damage. If someone can explain to me, I thank. As the others mentioned, most mez abilities are 8 seconds, only the warriors' and grenades aren't I believe. But why is it 8 seconds? Either the devs of this game have no respect for how effective mez, especially aoe mez, can be when used by a well coordinated team, or they wanted us to be able to play mez mind games for capping objectives since those happen to have 8 second activation times to cap.

Groncho Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) it could last 1 minute tbh it already has a 100% guarantee chance that a lolderpsmasher and or forceinbalancespammer is gonna AOE the targets controled before the 2 seconds Edited November 23, 2012 by Groncho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxmob Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 8s is an awful long time for a mezz that can be applied out of combat as as an aoe (although flash does require a target). in rated wzs, as I mentioned in another post, it's really the only way to cap a node between two evenly matched teams. still, i have no problem with making it 6s like awe. it also ensures that one person couldn't solo cap an objective simply by mezz. (2 mezzers should be able to cap). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheronFett Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Imperial Agents and Smugglers ALREADY has a 4 sec stun which NOT break on damage. If someone can explain to me, I thank. Stun - short duration, does not break on damage (Cryo Grenade, Electro Dart, Debilitate, etc). Every class, with the exception of Marauder/Sentinel, has at least one stun. Mezz - long duration, breaks on damage (Sleep Dart, Whirlwind, Mind Trap, etc). Some, like Mind Trap, can only be used out of combat and while in Stealth. Those have no cooldown. Others, like Concussion Missile, can be used in combat, and do have a cooldown. Sage/Sorc can spec their Whirlwind mezz to apply a short stun if their mezz breaks on damage.

Chlomamf Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 It's you again, the creator of the 'Nerf Snipers & Gunslingers' Thread. I don't know what your problem with Snipers/Gunslingers is, maybe you keep getting owned by them on your Lolderpsmasher, but the general populace of the PvP Community don't mind Snipers/Gunslingers. I just cannot wait to see what you will come up with next to complain about the Sniper/Gunslinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solarenergy Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 It's just a mezz and usually you'll get one of those smashers breaking it anyway, even though the whole point of it was so you could finish capping the node. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
