I dont know if I would pick those songs (what level bard? depends on what
choices were available) but they are not that far off base:

Chains: good snare and atk slow down

Fufil's not only does some targeted damage but it also reduces the mob's MR
(if anything, lead with Fufils so next thing sticks better.)

Psalm of cooling: it gets awful hot and sweaty in Lower Guk and the damage
shield also helps - especially if more than on mob is awake.

Just a thought,

Sylly

Heh with my cleric (who normally plays only in his regular group, but with
my play I have missed several sessions and need to catch up), I was gfrouped
with a monk and a bard in L Guk ("How long could it take for us to tfind a
tank, lets get the ass sup camp while we wait"). The bard was singing the
oddest collection of songs. Chains (good choice with no snarer or slower),
Curtailing Chant (with weapons) and Pslam of Cooling. Eh???? I suggested
singing celerity night be more useful (though I am loathe to ever say
anything) since the monk was dual wielding knuckledusters. Oddly she was
quite competent at crowd control. With Pixie she was keeping 2 mobs at bay
with no trouble...
