So I just resub'd cause I'm bored, and this was always the game I'd come back to for a month or two. With all the changes, I'm curious about mez powers...

Are all mez powers on the same suppression timer? ex: if I stun someone they're immune to stuns, holds, sleeps, etc. for 15 sec's?

Are all the variety of mez powers really the same base duration? Just looking at the power stats in-game I see the base PvP duration of a sleep is the same as a hold or stun. Or an immobilize the same as a hold or stun.

Oh, and there is still KB protection but everything else is now just resistance right?

Yes, yes, and kind of.

Kind of?

And on the first two...wth is the point of all the different kinds of mez then? Considering almost anyone can pick up a hold power what would make using a sleep > hold? Both same base duration yet..? wtf... I'm so confused.

so is everyone that pvp's. Ask Castle wtf you are supposed to do, he's the man with the plan.

Mac said kind of for kb protection because unless your kb protection is generated through kb IO's and/or click mez protection then it is susceptible to being suppressed by mez and then you can be knocked.

Thanks.

I'll pass asking Castle though, probably just [censored] around out in the zones for a few days then just uninstall, maybe keep me from resub'ing again.
