Listed above it says Reagents Wooden Flute x 1

You do NOT need a Wooden Flute, as a matter of fact, I didn't even have my regular flute equiped when I used this. I put my flute in the bank and tried it again, and it still works. Note, I have no wind instrument mods on any of my gear.

This song, in conjunction with snare and or any kind of non damage agro spell while using Fading Memories correctly can make it possible for bards in the high 60's to 70 split otherwise unsplittable camps.

This song is incredibly useful for doing the 10th ring war in the Great Divide. Just gate giants that get too close to the city :P

This song is broken or very poorly made at best. Its listed as detrimental in lucy however in the right click spell list it is under beneficial.

In a duel on a non-pvp server this song doesnt shadowstep to a random location but rather seems to cause a knock back effect around 20-30 feet, in addition to the 18 cancel magic and stun.

It is very useful to find spawn points for mobs particularly when duoing with a ranger. Pull a mob have the ranger lock track onto that mob and highsun it, then you and the ranger run after the mob till you meet again, repeat until you reach the spawn point. Static spawns such as eldrig are also as mentioned a good use. The named wurm in burning woods for bard and mage epics is another example.

It has another limited use in that you can highsun casters out of range or line of sight, assuming you know where the spawn was and that the return path is clear.

a little imagination goes a long way. Imagine pulling a bunch of mobs to charm kite. Unfortunately you got a summoning mob in the pull. Highsun him back and then fade. Now just round up the other mobs and kite away. Nice tactic. Not only that but when you highsun a mob it goes back to its point of origin.

Lets say you are in a raid and you have to kill certain mobs, but there are too many of them to pull and you cant mezz them. round them up and highsun them back one at a time to the raid force thats waiting at their spawn point.

Many possibilities.

Eldrig the Old

Works great to find the place holder for Eldrig the Old in Skyfire. Have a buddy stand at his spawn point and then just run around casting on every mob you see. Eventually you'll hit Eldrig's placeholder. Be careful as you will create on heck of a train in doing this.

The song shadowsteps the mob, right? Then they'll be close. But why would somebody really shadowstep a mob, for a 0.00 second stun?

The timing of casting is as essential as even having this important bard song. Not only does it get multiple mobs off your speedy butt, but it interrupts any caster you may happen to aggro on your mad dash to kill or live. This song is great in solo or with a group, as it many uses are revealed through practice and failure.

Gates

It also gates the npc, but unfortunetly, they still come after you, had a few bad incidents with that including bringing all the goranga in the Maidens Eye down on my group (sorry guys) It isnt an all to useful spell unless u fighting at the enemies spawn to stun, but theres other songs u could use 2.
