AoE Mezz duration according to range from center?

I have had a look at the patch notes for v1.52 and I found this:
In RvR only, area effect Mesmerization spells have been modified so that the duration effect of the mez spell is lessened the farther the player is from the center of the area of effect. The duration is 100% at the middle of the area, and it tails off to 50% duration at the edges. This does NOT change the way area effect spells work against monsters, only realm enemies (i.e. enemy players and enemy realm guards).

Is this still true on phoenix?

If it managed to stay in untill 1.65 yes, if not, probably not. On the "About us" section it states the game's foundation is said to be 1.65

I skimmed through patchnotes 1.52 to 1.67 and didnt see it reversed.

I could have answered you, but i doubt you care for an answer, unless its from a Dev.
So how about, instead of waiting and posting every 10 min of inactivity, simply log to your Sorc and run to the nearest enemy tower/keep and mezz the furthest left/right Guard and check if your targets mezz duration is the same as the outer ones?

Just tested, its not the case, its full duration for any target in the AoE

For any target that is not a player or pet.

Im almost certain that he already knew about the Player interaction part, he has been around for while after all.

It was the Part in that old Patch note that specifically mentioned the "Enemy realm Guards" that could be unclear here on phoenix, unless you accidently ran into this issue year(s) ago, like you and me apparently both did.
