Try to pull somewhere where there isn't anything around: a good place to do
this at our level (I'm 21L bard) is in EK - where the Gnoll Reavers and
Undead Reavers spawn (out by that big stone pillar thing - not sure the
loc - I just know that if you start from the chain bridge and keep the water
on your left... there will be this place where two roads meet and its
visible from there as long as it isn't raining). Fire up selos with the drum
and all you have to do is just run by them and slow long enough for them to
come after you (Try to not pull more than two Gnolls OR one Undead - much
less down time). Then I run back near the water because the wandering
reavers only come out so far - and there isn't that much that goes by the
water.... When you pull them back to the water try to avoid anything that
might join in the chase on the way back, but sometimes a puppy or two (wolf)
might come too... then, because selos with drum is fast and you got to your
spot WAY before those slow reavers - you have time to switch to the
lute/brass and get ready to start beating on them with the songs!

Here's how I put my hotkey bank for them:

DDD CoD
Hymn Melee Slot
Inventory Inventory

I'm not sure if this will come thru but here's a cut of the hotkey bank from a screen shot I took:



Hopefully you guys can see this... if not, and you want to see, I can send it to anyone privately.... Good hunting and safe journeys!
