My experience has been if there are two similar songs, one
area effect and one targeted, the area effect one is resisted
or broken out of more frequently. This is true of CoD/DDD vs
Bellow/Curtailing, and Lullaby vs. Strike. I haven't used
Binding in a long time so feel free to test it for yourself.
Maybe you're onto something. :-)
