Yesterday, I changed from using Jonthan's, hymn, wince or
sometimes Jonthan's, hymn, anthem, wince combination to
using just chant, jonthan and hymn. I might be just hallucinating
but I thought I noticed a HUGE difference in my melee ability.
I guess the dex bonus from chant really pays off. The 5% from
stacking anthem isn't that great compared to it.

And btw, the Carillion seems to increase _your_ faction with the
targeted person until you zone or re-log. Which means, any else
NPC with the same faction is also boosted. Hit carillion once and
all the npc's in one zone usually end up amiable if indifferent =)

Lullaby is resisted quite a bit yes.. It's pretty much only good if you
have a group that whacks a multible mob situation one by one, and
you just lullaby time after time and hope for best =)

They start to be useful when you start fighting casters. But at low levels,
if you fight a caster solo it will be a close call, and if you fight a caster
with group its usually a massacre =) Higher up, it will change that if you
fight a caster solo, it will be a massacre and if you fight it with a group
it can still be a close call ;)
