About a week ago, some friends and I decided to camp the bartender's
room in Sol A. We fought our way to the doorway of the room then healed and
medded up. Our ranger peeked inside the room to see how many spawns were up
(a group had been there earlier) and saw that the room was full. What
happened next was something very rare in groups, we set up a gameplan.
Everyone (that didn;t have one set already) mapped out an /assist hotkey
for our puller and we discussed who would cast what and when they would cast
it. Since the major worry was that the whole room would rush us and folks
would get the stuffing beat out of them by multiple MOBs before one could be
killed, I told them about Lullaby. With that info, (and when we were
healed, buffed, and medded) our puller targetted the most dangerous MOB and
we all rushed in! I fired up Lullaby (everything in the room con'd blue to
me), Lull'd the other gobbies, and we surrounded the MOB our puller ran to
and hit the /assist hotkey. Four or five MOBs later (with a group of 4 or 5
upper 20'-very low 30's... no nukers or pure tanks, just me, a couple of
druids, and a ranger or two) a few of us were around 1/2 hp, the druids were
almost OOM, but we stood victorious! Later in the night, however, our
puller grabbed a bit more than we could handle (8 or 10, I believe) and I
saw so many resisited Lullabies that I thought someone was playing a joke on
me. Corpse recovery soon followed.
The moral of the story? When it works, it works WELL, and when it
doesn't... LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
(btw, yes it was waaaay more powerful in P4. Damn the nerfs!)
