I peeked in there last night, everything was red and yellow, I decided it

"Heal Kiting" rocks :o) I used it all the time on the south shore of Eask
karana against Gnoll Reavers. Without SoW it goes like this:

Selos, autorun
Arm drum to get distance
switch to lute
alternate selos and hymn

keep them close enough to keep chasing you, I *think* their healing rate is
the combat one when chasing not the faster non-combat rate.
