Plant Manipulation: Strangler Hold not applying on lieutenants despite total mag 3 (RESOLVED)

[Taveena]

https://i.gyazo.com/6cbb7c861f248ea202a48cf163261745.mp4 Video here; ability should be mag 3 for the first 5.18 seconds but this wasn't sufficient to hold a lieutenant, which typically have hold protection 2.

 

EDIT: It's also only holding minions for about 5 seconds instead of the full 8 - seems like the mag 2 part isn't applying at all.

EDIT 2: Hold applies on other lieutenants, so it seems like it's just Arachnos having hidden hold resist. So, uh, sorry for wasting your time.

Yes, Huntsmen in particular have both resistance and protection, even the version of them that exists from level 1-5. (It's worth noting that they're normally boss rank critters with this stacked on top of the inherent mez protection of that rank, making the boss version quite challenging to mez at low levels.)

Crab Spider Webmasters (also a boss critter) and all the Fortunatas also have mez protection above and beyond that of their rank.
