No, I macro it to my spells and it does work on myself - I get a buff
icon anyway, just doesn't actually do a whole lot! Still get
disorientated, knockbacked, stunned... sigh. It works on Kael (didn't
even know he did CC stuff till I took it off to try and get some
better dps by using a decent weapon lol) but not the adds, or at
least, only some of the time (it's better when i use it than if I
