Report 1411

Report #1411
Skillset: Glamours Skill: Mesmerise
 Org: Cantors Status: Completed Dec 2015
Furies' Decision:
Sol. 1
Problem: With the removal of sleep attrition, Mesmerise lost its niche for
inducing sleepiness on an unblind target as a 'hinder', to assist in keeping a
target in-room. It currently functions as a sleep enchantment without additional
effects. This report aims to replace the previous sleep attrition functionality
with one of the following:
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: If target is unblind, steal target's equilibrium
 (much like Nexus Ripple knocks off-eq, aim is for
 1.5s, i.e. half of the (3s) casting time). Prevent
 the Glamourist from casting Mesmerise on an already
 off-eq target (identical to the mechanic preventing
 Whisper-stacking) - providing a feedback message
 along the lines of target is already off mental
 equilibrium.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: As above, but allow the presence of hypnoticpattern
 on the target to substitute for the unblind
 requirement.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: As above, but require the target to 'concentrate' in
 order to regain equilibrium (i.e. disrupt).

Solution 1 only, please. HypnoticPattern already gives eq-knock, and it is a
time-based incurable (except via critique/dispel), allowing it to then enable
mesmerize to repeatedly eq-knock will be a very bad idea. Gaining truesight
already has a delay, and flare also exists - mesmerize probably does not need to
have another ability to enable the secondary effect. Changing the sleep
attrition portion alone to an eq-knock is probably sufficient.

Solution 1 only is good. It gets a bit much with solution 3 (taking Lerad's
comment in mind)

Solution 1, for reasons stated in the report and over envoys

Solution 1 with a power cost.
