Actually it's Qaliya like 10 or so with all the wayward things he has posted on forums.
It's a wonder anyone still wants to play with a whiner like that.

Hopefully it is fixed to just apply the -50%  instead of what seems like way more...

But It likely will just be nerfed to useless

Come on folks, you knew this was gonna happen.  It made red/purple mobs nothing but punching bags.

We also know it'll get nerfed to the point of uselessness.  A smaller debuff would be okay but knowing Turbine they'll simply make red/purples immune.

Which WILL make it useless because no trash, or orange-nameds for that matter, will survive long enough to be fully affected.

Just from my observation, I'd say that the bug is that each time a stack is applied, it resets the AI routine to wait for the cooldown before attacking again. So that's how we're getting the complete lockdown, stacks pretty much being applied each second resetting a 2 second cooldown...

Apply 0 stacks a couple of times in a row, and it manages to squeeze an attack in there.

I'd be nice if it could be kept as a measure of CC in some kind of middle ground where it neither is useless nor is a complete win button.
  

That's not opinion, that's science. And science is one cold hearted bitch with a 14 inch strap on.

No effect at all on red/purple. You should've known better than to hope.

Ok, so now it will be useless. Good to know!

will it at least hand out some spell power?  Just wondering I haven't played with those enhancements yet, been having too much fun on my Shiradi PM death machine.

Also Wail appears to be working now ... WOOT WOOT.

I have heard that in the final quest in the stormhorns chain that the trash spawn rate is brutal.....on a caster druid using ice storm/earthquake/storm of vengeance (and maybe other AoES? not too familiar with druids) you could stack up beguile stacks pretty quick, so that would be a great way to slow down trash on top of mantle of the icy soul effect slowing them/their attack speed.

That could be a great strategy to fight against the massive amounts of assassins and other trash you need to deal with.

Of course you could also get a super high fascinate bard........
