Probably we have been nerfed. Of course in my duel, the lag was not exactly
ideal, like I said. I am certain that Lullaby no longer "Nixes S. List." I
have seen a noticeable change in the way this song behaves. Grouped with a
rogue, we made quite a team with this song and a backstab... no longer. Try
dueling the caster again. I cannot see any melee class winning a duel with
a caster! Casters rule EverQuest, plain and simple.
