Who doesn't have "Mezzed / zzzzz" bound and what the hell is the matter with you?
Maybe they're working for those badges.
why just stand there? |
I've already forgotten about most of you
Noticed a fair number of regulars in Victory Forum do not have a "Mezzed!" bind and some don't even type "zzzzzz" when mezzed. These include long term, competent players.
Now, if you know there's no one on the team that has a mez breaking power, I can understand this. But if you have 1-3 teammates that do and you get hit by a 40 second malta stun, why just stand there? __________________ Currently listening to Hagar Schon Arronson Shrieve's Through the Fire |
1 - It takes a lot to mez me and with all the -mez duration bonuses it does not last that long
2 - Even mezzed I can still take the damage and would rather the support focus on others. Mezzed or not the mobs will still pay attention to me and not the team. I will toss out a zzz if I start to bleed aggro.
But, as you said, you have mez protection. Characters with mez protection do not tend to get mezzed that often. I'm mainly talking about all the unfortunate masses without it.

Rock, rock on Hamster.
I would say i'm one of those that don't have one but then i look at my toons and I realize that the only toon thats mezz-able and lvl 50 is my warshade and my fire/kin corr. Warshade has its own break-free and my fire/kin was built for mez-resists, and the way FS works in melee, i'm either dead or getting there anyways.
Actually, since my namesake can even take a Romulus-Rez, the truth is I just don't need it. If I am actually in a situation that i'm mezzed, i doubt i have time to even type it before it wears off.

Because anytime I see you go "Mezzed!" I know you're going to die, and I don't want to curse myself like that.

Ventrilo. Get it. Use it. Love it.
My team on vent know when I'm mezzed. Code for me being mezzed is, "****!"..
:P
As far as Iso's goes. I'm playing a scrapper. If I get mezzed its generally over before the sleepng defender/controller would be able to do anything about it anyway.
<sigh> Viv says its no longer "all me".

Good point. Generally if you see. "Ambush" or "Mezzed" it is quickly followed by a red, and then a black bar for Shamster.

Having a mezz bind sounds like planning to fail.

Because the mezzed walk is about the funniest animation in the game. Can't get enough of it.
But really, I'm usually the one withe CM so mostly it's popping a bf or trying to make one. Hmm, bf is my bff.

'cuz it takes two seconds to hit enter and hit "z" three times? That's what I do. No need to make a bind for it.
And true on the Hamster stuff... if he doesn't die, he almost does.

Damn it, Hamster. You didn't have to neg rep me.
I didn't neg rep you.
Also, seriously, you need to buy this.

Rock, rock on Hamster.
I only say I am mezzed if the situation needs too. I have played on a enough teams that are steamrolling through. The little bit of time I am out and the team clears the mobs in 10 seconds without taking damage, then I wait for it to wear off.* Or if the player with the mezz prot power is busy like saving another player, I will wait.
If however, the situation is different like team is in over its heads or toggles are wanted like on my /rad corr (and this is less often than above), then I speak up quickly but not as a bind.
On a side note, I try to be proactive on buffing, esp. with things like CM. Yeah, I know I don't contribute as much, but feel that keeping that player protected makes up for that.
* - Of course some painful mobs like Malta, which can be much longer, then I will speak up much more often.
I didn't neg rep you.

So you pointed out to me last night. Where do you suggest I would put something like that?
On the wall.
And if you wanted to be really disturbing; chest height in the bathroom, right across from the commode.
Oh, and I just left you neg rep for leaving me neg rep falsely accusing me of leaving you neg rep. So now you have double neg rep.

I have better things to spend my money on than a rat in a hat.
And damn it. What can I do to get positive rep now?

I'm thinking of getting one of the hatless ones, then find a small black beard and a small stove pipe hat.

Also, I make a habit of carrying at least one Breakfree on ALL my toons (more for mez-prone squishies), so usually I'll simply pop the BF insp and move on.

(Incidentally, the reason I want the team to know I'm mezzed is not so much to get a CM or equivalent, but so that they know that I'm out of action and to modify their tactics accordingly.)

I call BS. You claim to have teamed with Ham and Voo and now state that you only broadcast that you're mezzed so they can change their tactics? HA! Ha ha! Ham or Voo changing tactics? Lier, lier, pants on fire!
