>>I briefly mentioned this the other day but it didn't generate any response

>>are
>>a couple of strikes working against us in regards to the Pixie Strike
song.
>>First off, because it has two effects (mezmerize plus magic resist
debuff),
>>mobs have an increased chance to resist it. This is similar to how CoD
and
>>DDD work. CoD only has one effect (AE DOT) while DDD has two (AE DOT and
>>AC
>>debuff). Mobs resist DDD a lot more than CoD. Example: I can regularly
>>get
>>CoD to stick against ogre bouncers (with a very high MR). I don't even
>>waste my time trying to get DDD to stick. Second strike is the second
>>resist check mobs get against pixie strike (and lullaby).
>>
>>When you combine the higher chance to resist because pixie strike has two
>>effects plus the two chances to resist the song outright, this song is not
>>reliable as we would like it to be. I propose we submit a petition to
>>Verant requesting that they nerf pixie strike and remove the magic resist
>>debuff. In this case, the nerf would be an actual improvement in the
songs
>>utility. The mobs still get a second chance to resist but the base resist
>>chance is lower because they are only resisting one effect (mezmerize).
