I posted this last night in the GoD spells thread but got no response, and wanted to see what people thought of the following predictions, and what they mean for the game.

They are adding new chanter mezzes that have a rather large resist adjust (-50 to -60 mr). This seems like it would trivialize crowd control in old content (Our existing pop mezzes have -10 resist adjust). In apparent answer to this, these new mezzes, which are otherwise almost exactly like the existing chanter mezzes, have one other difference: they are limited to a specific target type.

I am willing to bet this means these new spells will *only* work in GoD, and that mobs in GoD will be stupidly resistant to non-GoD spells.

Most of the new expansion spells on test so far are the same way: big resist adjust, limited target type.

So instead of adding more levels, and potentially trivializing old content, we are getting getting these gimp expansion-specific spells, which will be useless outside of GoD.

Is this a valid way of mitigating the trivialization of old content? Should they even care if old content gets trivialized? Is this better than new levels?

How much is it going to suck when your enchanter accidentally has the GoD-specific mez spell loaded in a non GoD zone?
