It looks like Harmony of Nature was way too over-powered.

Now NPC resists HoN a lot more and it generates a lot more dead dr00ds.

Since Pacify/Harmony line were changed to 7 tick duration,
I've been using it in BoT everyday.
It has been barely resisted.

After patch, 5 resists in 7 casts.
Do I need to say more?

only odd thing i'd found to HoN lately was that about 15 minutes after i had harm'd a giant in BoT, a ranger one level below me couldn't get it to stick on the same giant. In effect, my spell was still active, i guess...

I am still not sure on the duration but from what I have seen the past it *can/does* last a long time. I had been charm kiting Stalkers in PoN for a bit and just dinged 63. So I brought in my bard and was Swarm kiting them and some of the mobs at the back I couldnt soft agro with my bard for anything. This was some time after I cast harmony (10-15 mins?) and still even running right up and standing by the mob wouldn't attract agro, in the end I had to charm the mob to get it to move but the only thing I could attribute this to was that the mob was still harmonied.

Anyone else seen any evidence on how long it really lasts? This was some time ago now (maybe a month or 2) but I am not convinced much changed in that time. Also, on the topic above I have only ever had 3 resists to HoN...2 were on the PoN guardians (lvl 65) when I was 59 or so and 1 was in a mob at the back of Inner. The Guardians agro'd...the mob in Inner didn't. /shrug

Easy test, harmo yourself first, then harmo your mobs. You'll always have an indicator of when it's going to fade on them based on your icon blinking. ;)

Harmony of Nature last for 7 ticks (42 seconds).
Harmony last for 20 ticks (120 seconds)

I don't think there was a nerf. I always got resists in various places (most in BoT for some reason) few in HoH and never really use in fire.

Looks like you just got a bad round of harms.

I harmo in BoT all the time, regular and mini boss mobs and have never been resisted. Go figure.

The nerf aspect I absolutely despise about Harmony is if a target is completely immune to it. You can't cast it and hit the untargettable mob behind it anymore that would be in the AE. You get this "Target is unaffected" message and the spell never casts.

Very Lame

Am i right in thinking that with a high enough cha (ie get chanter buff), resisted harmony might not actually cause aggro ?

Or am I deluded ?

Yes Vere, when they changed harmony and added HoN, they said that on resists a high cha would help it maybe not agro.
