Subject: Re: Use for Lullaby at L17...


Yes, I know John, we play on the same server and met back in the low 20s
in Unrest. He is one of the best bards on the server hands down in my
opinion. I always love his tests because they are thorough and
informative. :)

Could Verant have secretly sneaked in a fix to Lullaby on us? I have
read Lullaby, like Charm, is CHA intensive for resist checks. Last night
we did it again, fighting L19-20 aviak guards at the "Fire Tower" in
Lake Rathetear. A L17 Cleric, L18 Bard, and L20 Shaman. All three guards
were spawned and we had to split them, 2 L19's and a L20. The L20
appeared to resist it heavily, the 2 L19s snored through the entire
fight.

What else might make the difference? Songs check Dex too, based on a
message I read a bit ago (I cannot confirm the source or orginal poster
unfortunately). I'm not sure why we have been so lucky with Lullaby. As
I said previously, I've also used it with 'stunning' success on my own
bard, those NPC clerics I could never hope to kill now can never get a
heal or wrath off, and after they hit 50% it's all over since they are
chained and feared. ;)

Anyone else been able to get Lullaby to work effectively enough to keep
it memm'd? Are people twisting it, manually pulsing it, or letting it
play on it on? When I use it to interrupt casters, it has been manually
pulsing it, twisting will not keep the targets asleep without an
instrument from what I've seen.
