Too many resists cause problems when fighting monster L40+, that is what
I was referring to. I'd rather chain something, or try to chain
something, then call for a snare before the monster runs. Either
way, chains are not as useful as they once were. Chains interferes
with shaman drowsy and enchanter slowdowns, for sure. I let the
casters slow and the ranger snare, since I have much more important
things to twist. (If someone does go on the run, yes running and
casting is an awesome thing that people overlook frequently)

Again, Lguk / SolB - that all ends. Not much to charm anymore.

Your 3 sec cast + 1 sec to even hit the button once you see the caster
visual, is typically not enough time to sink an interrupt unless you
devote yourself to pixie'ing the mob forever, I'd rather twist magic
and something else.

Since mana song is instant effect, and not pulse based, twisting
it just hurts the effectiveness. That said, I still do twist it
in, but only after berserk and psalm are up. Unless I have like
a party of five wizards, hehehe.
Harmonic.
