Subject: Singing with higher levels...


Now that the high-level members of my guild have decided to acknowledge
my existence (at level 33 - now 34 - I could get exp with the 50s), I am
wondering what, exactly, I should be singing when I am in places where
the MOBs are MUCH higher level than I am? The offensive and enemy debuff
songs get resisted so often that it seems like a waste of my efforts.

I have some strategies for singing against casters that seem to do OK,
but what do I sing against high-level melee stuff? I've been using
Anthem, Psalm of Warmth and either healing or clarity, but the Psalm is
partially useless (who needs the cold protection against melee MOBs, and
it's not worth much against single MOBs) and the heal and clarity are
really not that useful in combat. Any thoughts?

I'm wondering if it's worth singing stuff even if the resist rate is
high? After all, I shouldn't be expected to contribute THAT much if I'm
10 levels lower than everyone else?!?

Btw, I was using Lullaby a lot when there were a LOT of MOBs. Even if
they resist 50%, you're still taking out half of their attacks. The only
nuisance is that, even with players in their 40s, I found myself
repeatedly typing: /g One at a time; /g Get the [wizard]; /g Assist
[Joe]. Makes it tough to weave songs, since only one of these can be
hot-keyed. ;P
