You can always cast the 15th level sleep song, it seems to cause the mob to
forget who it is most mad at.
This I have confirmed on many occasions, our mage character will cast a high
damage spell, and suddenly he is public enemy #1, I'll sing my song, walk up
and hit the monster in the back for 2 pts of damage, and suddenly it hates
me, because it thinks I have done the most damage, as long as I keep singing
the song, the mob only attacks who ever attacked it last, this causes damage
to be delivered evenly to the whole party, so less down time for healing.
Now unfortunately, if the mob resists the song, which blues occasionally do,
then it works like taunt, the mob will generally be pissed at you, and only
you, until it fails to resist again, then back to spin the mob.
