I wanted to write and thank the list for all the crowd control tips
that have been shared over hte last few months. I don't get to play
to often so I depend on this list and boards for fighting tips with my
bard so I don't have to go totally from scratch.

Last night in Cazic Thule I was in the Throne Room. I am a level 30
bard in Full Lambent my Charisma is about 145-150. We had been there
about 45 minutes and our Enchanter had to leave. Someone in teh group
said "No problem the Bard can handle crowd control." :-)

Oh boy... the last time I tried this (before mezz was fixed) I got the
group killed. After I got my hot keys arranged with Charm, Pixie
Strike and other hot keys I went to work.

Since we had the room broken the most that came was 3 pulls. So I
would charm 1 and attack another and keep them busy while the group
finished off the toughest monster. I would try to weave in healing or
Anthem before Charm broke. Then the group would finish off the most
dead 1 I was handling while I charmed the other to attack.

I must say charm (in this case) worked so much better than mezz for
me. I was able to affectively keep 2 mobs busy and never got below
half health the entire time.

So again thanks for the tips on crowd control. They were very helpful
as all I had to do was get my hot keys in order and go to town. :-)
