I saw on Bjorn Star just now that Affliction Haste/Efficiency works on Mezzes too. Anyone have any info on if this is right or not? I may just have to borrow someone's item and try to mez myself and see if I get the 'sparkling' message or whatever. It would be very cool if it did, since Spell Haste III items are in my 'retarded' category on the effects and level to attain the item. I assumed that getting an item with a Focus Effect III (Max lvl 60) would be fairly easily attainable at lvl 44-50 or so, considering that at those levels the spells you get are the first ones unaffected by the old level II effects.
I think it is completely idiotic that you have to be around lvl 60 to get an effect that ENDS at that level, so you can only get the effect further than that level only IF you don't get an upgraded spell. *sigh*
