No, you just reveal your lack of intelligence, once again missing the point. That point being, Lull can not simply be depended upon to move through an area freely or pull for free. It will sometimes be crit resisted, thus getting you nowhere. In areas where Lull is completely dependable, Root can often serve the same function. For example, 3 MOBs are standing next to each other. You pull by rooting one of them and then run back and root one of the others. Now they are completely separated, the same as Lull would have done.

Your fallacy here is idiotic on multiple levels, seeing as Root has other functions that Lull doesn't. Root is crowd control, lull does nothing on already aggroed mobs. Root is aggro management, forcing the MOB to hit the nearest melee player. Root prevents wanderers from pathing away, saving time from not having to chase them down.

And for the typical grouping situations we've been talking about in this thread, Lull is almost never needed over Root to begin with. The best ways and places to level don't require Lull, nor for grinding faction, nor for the majority of item/cash farming.



p99 is trying to recreate classic EQ. Thus, discussions about "the game" on p99 are often about Classic, and about reminiscing.



Yeah that makes total sense. What you say about it only being reliable on low blues also matches up with my memory. Harmony was WAY, WAY better than Lull (in outdoor tagged zones, of course). Lull was very risky in the places you actually needed it most, and not worth using to pull with over Root the majority of the time.

Lull is amazing,there is no better way to pull in indoor zones. With high cha 200+ critical resists don't happen to often,if you have a dwarf paladin with 50cha you can expect a lot of them. A couple simple item swaps can make a big difference.
Paladins are fun,if you ever want to try this game I recommend them.
