I figured it was to make up for the fact that charm doesn't work.  Either way, he's a handy lil guy to have.  If I am soloing I often will give him a pally blade just so I don't need to pay as much attention to him.

Which is more usefull for tanking mobs? Bard, so no way other than CH book to heal it...

Maxed tune of pursuance out, but still seem to only have 100 skill at tracking, and tracking still doesn't seem to be sucking less.

This a known bug?

It's nice if I'm trying to solo in a zone where mobs are difficult.  With my current gear (1 epic 3.0 and mostly qvik), for instance, LDoN 5 is doable, but if I get more than 2 mobs at a time I have to fade.  I can split them with fade and mez, and other ways, but it sucks that 2 of our major powers (charm and lull) are nerfed.  Charm I'm OK with because we get casters guild pet.  Lull would be nice to have back if it's just a bug that can be fixed at some point.

So I play a bard, and finally today I just got around to asking in /ooc why my lull songs seemed to be having no effect.  I was told that lull spells don't work on this server.

The song I was using should lull just about any level, and the mobs were light blue cons, so definitely not a level issue.  And when you cast it, it either lands or gets resisted (and mobs sometimes agro on resist).  But it just doesn't actually seem to reduce agro radius.

Is there a reason why this is this way, or is this a bug that might get fixed at some point?

Yeah!  I'm new to EZ, but played for years as a bard on Live.  I leveled from about 52-58 by swarm kiting in Luclin, Maiden's eye was perfect!  I was all excited to try it again tonight for old time's sake, and was sad that the mobs are immune.  Booo...

Funny thing is...I had a nice swarm all ready to go by the time I tried charming.  Ended up being a train with about half the zone by the time I gated lol.
