Crowd Control Effects
Power Block
A power block is a type of crowd control that prevents the target from using any powers or skills. All power blocks include a brief power block immunity to prevent chaining power blocks over and over.
Root
Root abilities prevent horizontal movement and are broken if the target receives any damage after they are cast. Roots bypass defense and usually have a long duration.
Snare
Snares reduce a target's horizontal movement speed by a flat percentage.
Stun
- Main article: stun
Stuns prevent a creature from attacking, avoiding attacks via Passive Defense, casting powers, and from moving horizontally. All stuns include stun immunity to prevent chaining stuns over and over.
Mob-Only Crowd Control
The following spell types do not work on players.
Amnesia
Amnesia spells clear a mobile's hate list and render targets docile. If a player is still in the mob's awareness radius or uses an ability on it after the fact, it will attack as normal.
Charm
Charm spells allow the caster to take control of the target mobile as if it were their summoned pet. Charm spells often have mobile level or type restrictions.
Fear
Fear abilities and enchantments cause the target mobile to run the opposite direction of the source until the effect wares off.
Lull
Lull spells and abilites reduce the awareness radius of mobiles. This can enable a player to pass by a mobile unnoticed. Lulls have no effect on mobs which are already attacking.
Mesmerize
Mesmerize is a Mob-only effect that forbids the target from taking any actions. Mesmerize spells work exactly like stuns except that any damage caused to the target will end the effect, and they do not impose a stun immunity. A creature that is immune to stun is also immune to mesmerize.
Taunt
Taunt abilities force the target creature to attack them by placing them at the top of its hate list.
