    Anyone care to share swarming tips with the 70 and 74 charm songs?

    I have some ideas about how to do swarming with these songs, but have yet to try them out. One is to try the 74 song on the Mammoths in Icefall glacier because they are normally indifferent. So I can HoS them from a distance and then fade immediately, run up and charm, swarm... if the charm drops early, just fade and repeat. If they are almost dead when the charm wears off or canceled (via invis), DoT them down as in any other swarm kiting. This takes a lot more mana because of the use of fade. I'd be interested in other techniques to charm KoS mobs, given the 30 distance issue. I've thought about mezzing, running up, HoS, then charm.. etc. Other ideas?

    I use the mez method. Assuming you already have a kite. Mez one, run the others a bit away, start running back and start HoS as soon as you can (helps charm last longer). I usually manage to get in range and get the charm off barely before my swarm caught up. By that point, just one small circle would usually suffice before mez broke and I could send my pet in. It helps to use faction song on the wolves first, this makes the wolves and leopards dubious... you can still pick them up for your kite if you want them.

    ooh.. I didn't think about being able to run the swarm off. Thanks for the tips!
