That i accidentally discovered one day. I'm sure it's been discovered before, and if you all already know this.... damn.

Anyhoo.

You can debuff without waking the monster up, so long as no actual (hp) damage is done.
Blind, paralyze, slow, bind, etc.
Dia, Bio and elemental debuffs will break the sleep, as they do damage.
Aspir doesn't seem to break it, either. Fun possibilities ^^

Note that i have had things wake up from being debuffed while asleep. They seemed to, at least. Mainly (only) quadavs, and not always. Not sure why, probably a check to see 'how asleep' they were or something. Maybe coincidence.

Soloing became possible again when i noticed this
Not easy, not efficient, but possible.

Hehe, you can also have people provoke it w/o waking it. That way, if you are dealing w/ a bad link, you sleep, and someone vokes. When it wakes, it doesn't munch the blm but a melee, giving you enough time to resleep it.

[Afija]

I believe that any change to a sleepers HP will wake it up, regen(theory) included. If anyone has proof of this, I'd like to hear it

[Nohmaan]

sometimes if im screwed ill sleep it then /heal then go back at it.

[Afija]

What if you have regen casted on yourself, and something sleeps you?

Regan-type spells *including bard songs* well NOT wake you up from sleep. Ive had to many times where Mandras at Kazham keep puting me to sleep with regen on me and it sticks. Cure well wake up the person though.

thanks

Thus the standard tactic of poison potions in the BCNM mandra fights. If I see a sleeper ready something stupid like AoE sleep, I'm gonna take the last few seconds to pull hate. Generally I avoid meleeing against sleepers (leave that arguement elsewhere, please) but if I pull hate when he aoes us, I can get everyone awake pretty fast.

....damn. :crazy

Is that a gun or a finger?

[Achaius]

Good question. Since it's the same color as the face, i would say it's a hand.... But let's call it a water pistol instead.

wwwweee Achaius send me a tell ingame! Babinski's the name and chillin is the game

[Iaggo]

is sleep

based on enfeebling magic skills or does it increase as your lvl increases just wanted to

know because my sleep spell never seems to work on things that i need it to

[ske]

Enfeeble +

INT. Some mobs are more resistant than others, so if you're in a pinch try hitting

elemental seal before you cast. That should do the trick.

[BonsaiHinoki]

I

think curaga is the best way to get rid of AoE sleep at any lvl...

just my 2Gil

[Orage]

In terms of

sleep not hitting, when i'm playing black mage, i never use elemental seal unless it's

right before sleeping a bad link or something. This will really help.

Also, another

trick for the bards. Bard can sleep then hit it w/ dark threnody. Then the next sleep will

really put the mob out caus eyou've lowered it's dark resist.
