Sleep spell works really crappily now a-days

[Merrick]

Anyone noticing that the sleep spell is shit now?
right now i can barely put a level 20 something mob to sleep whereas before it might take 2-3 tries but i could put something a lot closer to my level to sleep i think the mob was level 46ish now i can't put the gambling master in VT to sleep. i tried 22 times to put him to sleep.

Also tried sleep on a couple of other mobs that were higher level. not above 50 though.

some spells seem to hang up on some mobs. Try feeb'g the cyclops magi in DS. Took 102 tries. Without curse, hex, or banshee wail, it's not even remotely worth trying. And gee, of course, when I petitioned awhile back to see if it's broken I get 'working as intended...'
