The last efreeti raid I went on was at 48th lvl. At that time I decided to
test lament to see how well it would stick. So I memed it and tossed it
into my battle weave. at 48 with an unbuffed cha of about 115 I was getting
resisted about 40% of the time. I am itching to try it now on a single
party break in to Efreeti :)
