This is a great song. I've had it memmed constantly since I got it, and I'm level 46. I suppose it
depends on your usual groups, but I tend to keep getting groups with no Rangers or Druids, and trust me,
Chains is a LOT better than nothing. I usually don't bother to throw until they start to run, unless
we're in real train danger (I use Largo's in battle). Heck, last night I was with 2 Rangers in the Sol B
King Room, we pulled several multiple-MOB groups, and I had to Chain to stop the stuff at the end. And
these are level 45+ Rangers, mind you. Better to cover yourself. As with all our songs, it works better
the higher-level you are, btw.

Plus, although I missed Charming two Giants against each other (never had the patience to find two of them
at once), I'm now Fear/Chaining single SGs, Specters and kobolds. A little tedious, but better than no
exp! I fear/chained Terrorantula last night, even. Note: Fear has such a small radius, that you have to
stand right *under* this spider to make it work. ;)

Kenross Cantoforjado, 46 songs, Innoruuk (woo hoo! planes capable!)

PS - And yeah, my guild refers to the Necros in the guild as "BS Necros". I took it as a mark of pride to
be referred to as a "BS Bard" the other day. hehe.
