Notes

Seduction has a 1.7-second casting time and is channeled, so the Succubus can't perform any other action while seducing and can be interrupted. This ability only works on humanoids and lasts for 30 seconds against mobs, but only 8 seconds against players, and is subject to diminishing returns in PvP. Any damage inflicted on the target will break Seduction instantly.

Seduction on other players is controlled by diminishing returns, which means that you can't seduce a player an unlimited number of times. Not only that, but Seduction and Spell shadow possession [Fear] are in the same diminishing returns category, preventing alternating use for long periods of time.
