I've got 2 questions about Crowd control and lament pulling.
On crowd control, how do you get a group to let you do it? Every time
I try charm, mez or selective fear someone (often more than one) freaks
out. Last time I dared use charm (to pull a stoneleer off our
enchanter, help healer, add damage, list goes on) the monk in the party
took my head off for the audacity of not letting him tank 3 mobs at
once. Is it just me falling into groups who refuse to try new things
or what? I miss HK when people would be yelling at me if I didn't
charm/mez fast enough. Tho, I've noticed Pixie Strike having it's mez
portion resisted 7/10 times on any blue con mob or above, only slightly
better with instrument. Is this a function of my cha (136) or do the
rumors I hear of it sucking soon after you get it ring true? It's
scary that Solon's is more reliable than Pixie.
And on Lament, using it at all. It worked nicely when I first got it
and I loved it for a long time but haven't used it since the early
twenties. Every time I tried to use it I got a resist and the mob
(plus friends) aggroed on me and ground me into bardpaste. Even with
lute it's dangerous at best. I'd like any advice you folks have on
it's proper uses.
