Editing Mesmerize

Mesmerize is a [[Crowd Control]] strategy that causes an opponent to stop both movement and attack. If a mesmerized target is attacked, then mesmerize will be broken and the target will start moving and attacking again.

Mesmerize, [[Stun]], and [[Knock Down]] all stop a target from moving and attacking. However, they differ in the follow ways:

|-
! Skill !! Effect on Target's Action !! Effect on Target's Body !! Can the Effect be Interrupted by an Attack on the Target? <span style="color:fuchsia">&dagger;</span>
|-
| Stun || Target cannot Move or Attack || Remains Standing/Upright || Not Interrupted by Attack
|-
| Knock Down || Target cannot Move or Attack || Knocked to Ground  || Not Interrupted by Attack
|-
| Mesmerize || Target cannot Move or Attack || Remains Standing/Upright  || Interrupted by Attack
|}

::<span style="color:fuchsia">&dagger;</span> Mesmerize can be interrupted (i.e. eliminated) if the mesmerized target is attacked, whereas stun and knockdown continue for the full duration even if the target is attacked.


Mesmerize applies a [[Resist Crowd Control]] on the target (which causes the target to become temporarily resistant to subsequent stuns/knockdowns/mesmerizes/roots/knockdowns).

;Pending Questions
:Is there any mechanical difference between Mesmerize and [[Stun]]?
:[[Shield Bash]] and [[Sap]] lists effects as both stun and mesmerize. If there is a difference between them remove from one page or the other, and edit the primary ability pages. (In testing [[Shield Bash]] only displayed the Stun icon on the Mob's bar, so has been delisted as being Mesmerize.)
