I tried this on Minos and reavers. The reavers I could handle some of the
time, but the minos were nearly always too tough for me. You must have had
better equipment than I did, they just did way too much damage and knocked
off my songs way too often for this to work on minos effectively. Ditto
with the big spiders. If it wasn't low blue there was no way this would
work for me unless the mob was weak for its con.

One question? How the heck did you have HtH at 100 starting at level 14?
It can't hit 100 till level 19.

Basically there wasn't anything blue I couldn't handle if I was careful
