I agree and disagree. I don't think we should "Fight" a battle to get
lullaby to work on level 1 snakes - I think we need to fight to get songs
that help us.
1) Our friends who's level let them fight 30- mobs as blues need to take the
statistics and show they are getting higher resists with higher Charisma.
Let's face it - we have good reason to believe that sign is reversed. Let's
help out the people at those levels get a Lullaby that works (or prove us
wrong - unlike Verant - I'm happy to admit when I'm wrong!)
2) Okay - I'm 48. I would assume (could be wrong - but make them say
that) - our "Upgrade" songs should work at least until we are high enough
level to get the next "Upgrade" song.
I've tried to use Pixie strike to get keep a single mob mezzed - and the
resists are so bad it's not useful. Lets DO PIXIE STRIKES ON THOSE LEVEL 1
MOBS! I'm sure we'll still see the bad resists...

Well, there it is.
We have 2 options. Roll over and die or Fight it. As a bard, I've had more
than my share of dying, so I say we fight it.
So far several issues are unaddressed.
They said it's "working as intended" but they haven't told us what intended
is. We need to press them to find out what the expected resist rates are so
we can do our own testing. All we know is that the song is supposed to be
more effective vs mobs below level 30. Let's hammer that datapoint until we
can prove to them that they are wrong.
The other thing abashi said is that he did a test personally and found that
resist rates on mobs below 30 conform to GZ's statement on resist rates. I
think we need to increase the sample size and prove him wrong.
Here's what I propose...
I'd like everyone to spend 5 minutes in your local newbie area singing
Lullaby to snakes, bats, rats, decaying skeletons, or whatever level 1
critter you can find. Log the results and we'll start a thread to post them
on. If we all do this every night, we'll get a huge sample size that will
acurately show the resist rates. Make sure you post your bard's level as
well as the log file.
If we keep the pressure on, perhaps they will realize their error.
