Let's put it this way. At 38 (maybe 39), I could solo blue frogs on the
ramp of dead side LGUK with FCC,COF, and Chains. And I'd usually only be
down to 60% health.
Shaman were even easier.
Using weapons, sometimes I'd have to run away (granted, I don't have great
weapons).
I could have made it go faster using the level 2 songs, but thought chaining
them to reduce damage was more important.
So, you won't be having too many problems with these songs, unless you're
fighting pretty nasty reds (or mobs that are resistant to magic, Ogres,
etc.)
