Usefulness?

It's stated that "Unlike Diabolos Prime Damage to the slept mob will wake it" however Andraus states that casting Dia on the mob will not wake it. Dia of course is a DoT but also Deliveres a minimal amount of DMG, assuming he is correct about the mob not waking when Dia is cast, Why does the DMG itself from Dia not wake the mob? (excluding DoT)either way I don't find that the info regarding Nightmare is accurate enough. would anyone care to test this ability more(i'm currently level 25SMN.. cant test it myself >< ) ?

I'm assuming the mob doesn't because Dia will not overwrite the Bio effect on the mob that comes with Nightmare. --Nicknick 22:28, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

How long does the sleep last? On toughs? Petco 15:42, 13 July 2007 (CDT)

I Can't say How long it lasts, but it seems shorter then sleepga I. I found that after I nightmare something and cast Dia/Dia II the mob will still stay asleep. Therefore it is very useful for those times that someone DoTs something that needs to be sleeping. I would have to do more testing but from what current information says Sleepga II overrides nightmare, it would be interesting to see if it is still overridden when something like Dia II is on the mob. If this was the case it would be even more useful =) Andraus 04:53, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Effect duration is incorrect and should be changed. I will need to perform more testing to nail it down but I have gotten durations ranging from 30 seconds all the way up to 1 and a half minutes. Tested it on various level mobs all at different times of the day trying to nail down any possible correlations similar to Dream shroud. Changing duration to "Variable". --MasterMalichi 12:29, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Auto-Attack?

Does Diabolos stop attacking when this ability is used on a mob, or do you have to manually tell him to Retreat? --Elvaron 02:34, 12 February 2008 (UTC) Even worse, He won't stop attacking (as long as you have hate) unless you despawn him.--Chimeramage 00:49, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
