There is no way to flag individual effects within a spell beneficial or detrimental. It's all or nothing.
Umm... that is not correct: Serene Harvest (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/spell.html?id=19587&source=Live)
They do root, not stun. I'm a wizards and I can attest that these Harvests have always been bugged and failing for no apparent reason: the effect just disappears without giving you any mana. Ask Prathun how much time he spent trying to figure out and fix the bugs with this line.
One reproduceable cause is known: the bard line Dance of the Dragorn. When you have the Harvest effect on you and this bard song, if the song fades first it removes the Harvest effect. Always, 100% - and yet still not fixed.
The other cause of Harvest just disappearing without any bards or in fact anybody else around likely has something to do with latency. It happens much more often in busy zones, on raids. In my personal experience, force-synchronizing your PC's clock with internet time servers helps against it. When my harvests start to fail a lot, I sync the clock and the problem goes away for a while.
Now, if the bugs with Harvest could be fixed, all wizards would be SO happy.... http://www.mapfiend.net/eq/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif
Yes it is correct. You cannot flag an individual effect within a single spell detrimental or beneficial. Serene Harvest is a beneficial spell, that triggers another spell entirely. The root component within Serene Harvest while technically bad, still falls under the 'beneficial' tag of the spell in its entirety.
Harvest is a different spell than Serene Harvest.. so when you say 'Harvest' that's what I'm going to look at (since I'm NOT the spells guy). People need to be very specific when providing bug details so as to eliminate confusion and reduce the time to investigate.
