Subject: RE: [eqbards] Chains Reliability


Has the DoT portion of CoC been quantified?

We were fighting frogs in the Frenzy room of lower guk last night and we
frequently had multiple pulls (we had a psycho Erudite Paladin pulling).
I'd sing Berserker, Niv's, CoC. Everyone assisted wonderfully and the first
would drop. We would turn to the next weaker frog, sometimes a Wan (and
yes, he'd been beating on me) and he would have a noticable amount of his
health gone - half a bubble maybe. I think the CoC DoT is pretty
significant, but I'd like some quantitative evidence.

Before CoC I was with you, I often did not have Binding and Chains loaded.
In that instance Binding only has a minor AC drop and a AE effect over
Chains. Well I don't want mobs agrod on me if all I'm doing is slowing them
and dropping their AC, however, with a DoT component I feel that it's worth
it.

I long for the day when a fully functional Lullaby complicates my decisions
here. Twisting Berserker/VoV, Niv's and Lullaby? /drool
