I"m told that the enchanters spell - soothe - is pretty useless, and the druids harmony will beat it anytime. Depending on the camp, root can be helpful in pulling less mobs, also one I have used is Mesmerize (and series). When you cast these though, any other nearby associated mobs will come running, so be careful.

Mesmerize is described as such (from eq.castersrealm.com)- lvl 8-

Mesmerise when successfully cast upon the NPC target holds the monster is a mesmerised state for around 30 seconds. During this time any non-damage debuff may be cast upon the target. These include Tashan, the Weaken Series, or Slow Series.

An mesmerised target has a chance of having its Hate List wiped, similiar to the effects of Memory Blur. Just make sure you are beyond the frenzy range when it wears off to increase your chance of success.

Example: I use mes to pull when i kill guards in WC or the dwarves nearby. Each camp having two mobs.

If the mob has high magic resistance, you might be able to tashan it first (both come running) and get one mez (or in my cast entrance) before they hit you. Your taking a change thou :p

Good luck

Subject: [eqenchanters] Soothe....

Ok, I hit 12th last night and am at the Nybrite camp. How much exactly does soothe reduce the agro range by? So far I have only been able to take out Kayla by the tree. Every time I try for Shayla (they are all even fights right now) I soothe Tay and Jay and even throw one on Shay, back way up and cast Tashan. Now it may have been a fluke, but my pet engaged her too close to Jay and ended up pulling her to. It still happened when my pet didn't attack her early. I have run to MM several times no matter how many times I try to pull Shay. Help? Druidic Harmony cannot be beat at this camp. *sigh* I was also told to try Cognoggin (13 warrior). Where is he located? I was told by the gnomes in LFay, but will I be able to pull him without any other mobs coming after me? I know he is on faerie faction, which I don't give a hoot about, just like Gearheart and the Queen. Anyone know a loc? -- Uthanatos Gnome Chanter 12th Facet in the Gem of Norrath
