It is possible you were hitting but the immob was not taking hold and thus you didn't see the tentacle graphics and thought you were missing. The tentacles do not appear unless the immob effect works, but the damage will still apply.

What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.
Ruin Mages have dispersion bubble.
IIRC this gives them +defense so you miss more often. It also gives them protection to Hold (abys gaze), Stun, and Immobilize (TT).
That being the case you'll miss much more often and you won't effect them with your hold or immobilze. Any sleep power will allow you to detoggle their dispersion bubble however (provided you can hit with it through their +defense).
Edit - Since Ruin Mages are bosses, unless you are solo, that sleep has to have a mag higher than 3. That means that you have to have a sleep that does no damage so you can stack it, you have to have Mind Control's Mezmerize which is a mag 3.5 sleep, or you have to have a dominator with domination active.

If you generate enough mag, typically by stacking multiple applications, you can overcome Dispersion Bubble's immobilize protection and get the effect. This is can happen even at low levels if several players are stacking immobilizes.

TT with +3 TOs and 1 Acc, 3 Immob in 4 slots (what you are likely to have at that level) will not allow a single player to triple stack it (which is what it would take to immob a Ruin Mage) and it would take more than 30 seconds to get it to that point in any case.

Hey folks,
Hope all is well.
I just ran DIB and I noticed that Ruin Mages made Tenebrous Tentacles pretty much "miss". So is their Defense bubble checking for Immob first, which would cause Tenebrous Tentacles to be pretty much useless? (Forgot to mention I had no Enchancers and was at lvl 18 against +1/2).

So is Dark Blast WAI?
Thanks in advance.
