Okay my few cents on this song...

Using a stringed instrument makes a huge difference on resists. To this day, I have never had an agro resist check when using a lute (2.2). I suggest using a lute while your lulling, then switching back. I believe it makes a signifigant difference to resists.

I read somewhere that this song also had a slow component, but I can find no other mention of it. Does this song also slow the mob?

No slow, it just makes the mobs agro radius and reaction radius really small.

As a crazy cleric who likes to pacify and pull I would add the following:

1) If you are lulling a camp of low blues and know you are unlikely to get resisted, only lull the ones you have to lull at the back and pull the front most one or two. With pacify on a blue mob I am almost NEVER resisted.

2) If you think there's a risk of resists but only a few risks, lull front to back and pull front to back as suggested by rlpwnz above.

HOWEVER

If you are lulling a very mixed con group (say some blues hanging around a yellow or two) then LULL THE LOWER CON MOBS first no matter where they are positioned!

The reason you do this is that your chances of a lull being resisted on a yellow mob tend to be higher than on a blue mob. So if you lull a room of blues, pull out the yellow and pound him, you are better off than if you pull the yellow onto your head while trying to lull him and aggro the blues in the process do to some social aggro mob issues :)

Last but not least, I have found that melee mobs almost never resist my lulls/pacifies (warrior mobs, monk mobs, etc) ... usually (but not always) it's a caster mob that resists. Enchanter mobs and Necro mobs seem to be the worst, so when poking those I always lull the stuff around them first.

Just to add to that, because this is a lull, you get 2 checks on a resist. 1 is to see if the mob resists, the second is to see if the mob agroes. To help avoid the mob agroing you, I suggest keeping your cha high. Pretty much everyone I talk to online agrees, high charisma = lower chance of a critical failure. Also, if you are using this song, use a flute, I know its a pain, but its worth it to help combat the mobs resist check, if I am not mistaken, thats what the flute mods on this song.

Only lull song until level 61, perfect for breaking camps... lull all but one or two, and pull away. Just make sure to lull the ones in the back and pull from the front, as it just reduces the agro radius, it doesn't eliminate it.. so if you pull a mob from behind & it runs next to a lulled mob, both will likely attack.

It doesn't have any effect on a mob that's already agro'd on you, though... you'll have to wait until lvl 15 for Kelin's Lucid Lullaby, crowd control mez ;)

As a ranger who is used to harmony, I'd add that when you are breaking a camp, you want to lull from closest to furthest, but still pull from closest. The reason is, if you start at the back of the camp and get resisted, you could also get agro, which means the whole camp is coming at you instead of just 1 or 2.
