Okay, I left the title especially vague after the last incident with charm-trading just in case. Yeah I'm paranoid now but I didn't join these forums to keep secrets so I'm still posting. However, if I find this on the official forums in a week I'm not posting any type of bug/exploit again in the future. That said, enjoy but please use with care.
--------
For starters, this is completely unrelated to the Chromatic Haze proccing bug - you can see my previous thread on that or ask someone as it's rather wide known at this point. On to the fun...
What it is: Ability to to instantly re-use any Enchanter AA with a cast time (notable AA: Mana Draw, Silent Casting, Focus of Arcanum, and I'm sure there are others you may find useful)
What you need: a) Echoing Madness (Lv 68 viral mez), b) Eye of X (Holgresh Beads, Clockwork Automaton, etc.), c) Unmezzable hostile mob, d) the ability to count (I recommend this UI add-on: http://www.eqinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=5678)
Why it works: No fucking clue
How it works: Well, I will admit this is certainly an interesting "bug". It is *not* super easy or simple to pull off but the advantages of successfully executing it are great. Here is the simple breakdown of how this works-
1) Summon your eye of X temporary pet, move it onto a unmezzable target (any mob >Lv 73, giants, etc.)
2) Target your Eye, cast Echoing Madness. Wait and make sure you see a spell pulse - ie. the spell trying to ping pong itself on the unmezzable mob(s). This is easily determined by the message "Your target cannot be mesmerized. Your target resisted the Echoing Madness spell." Basically your eye gets mezzed and keeps trying to mez the unmezzable mob.
3) Now that you have confirmation it's ping ponging between the mob and eye, you're going to need to use some timing skills. The spell pulse follows server tics, so every 6 seconds it will ping pong. IF you cast an AA with a casting time and the spell pulses WHILE you are casting it, the AA will fire but will instantly refresh.
When it will NOT work: You only have one mob. You have more than one mob but they are all unmezzable. You have an Eye but do not have an unmezzable mob in range of Echo pulses. This method only works if you have pulses of the viral mez. If everything is mezzed, or there is only one mob, you have nothing to 'infect' and this will not work.
Here is an example to get you familiarized with how to execute this and practice
-Go to the GH or wherever you have a combat dummy >Lv 73.
-Summon your Eye and target it. Move it next to the dummy.
-Cast Echoing Madness on the Eye. Wait to see the spell pulse.
-Wait until the next pulse and then count to 3 out loud (if you do it in your head you're going to be too fast :P)
-Start casting Blanket of Forgetfulness AA (4 second cast time, 10 second recast)
-You should finish casting BOF immediately following the next pulse of Echoing Madness. It doesn't even have to be immediately after - you just must be casting before it pulses and it ends after.
-Check your reuse timer (you should have none if done successfully)
I recommend repeating this several times until you get a grasp on it. Then, move on to the bread and butter with practicing with Mana Draw, etc.
Personally, I do not know if you can/have not been able to get it to work on AA abilities with an instant cast time. I think it would be near impossible to sync with the server pulse given lag but perhaps you are a robot with 0 ms ping.
Obviously this is not as useful as Haze proccing (IMO) but being able to constantly Mana Draw or Focus Arcanum, etc. is still a pretty big deal. The downside is that Echoing Madness has a 2 minute recast so you need a spell gem for it.
I hope some of you will find this useful.
