Virelai

[Rekiem]

Any lv75 bard played around with the Virelai song? Do you need to have a BST subbed to make your pet attack? Whats the duration and recast timer on it? Can you Charm beastmen and undead or is it like the BST Charm and you can only use it on animals?

I do not have the song yet myself but this is what I have read, and unfortunetly it sounds rather lame.

-You can only tame pets BSTs can tame (no beastman, undeads, etc)
-The song lasts only about 37 seconds while it has a 45 second re-cast, and the pet WILL attack you after it is our of your control.
-You don't get to use the pet command menu at all; Once you attack something, you pet will follow you and attack it to. It works more like a DRGs wyvern than an actual pet.

The only upside is I have heard it will tame basically any tamable pet without resist. The only time I can see it being useful is if you got aggroed by a tamable pet and tamed it to buy yourself some time. Otherwise, it is just to mess around with, I guess.

I heard that you can charm stuff bst's can't charm like marblos and cocatrices or even arcana- weapons (probably not undead though, skeletons following you just isn't very charismatic I guess unless you are necromancer )

but at 45 second duration you can't do anything with it cept maybe take a screenshot that had a dragon under your control for bragging rights to all them bst's out there

You can't even do that >_<

I tried taming Perytons in Valley of Sorrows (Big Roc Looking Birds), does not work
I tried taming Ochus in Rolanberry Fields, does not work
I tried taming Weapons anywhere really, does not work

You basically can charm same things that a BST can charm.

I found Virelai to be useful in some situations. When we would have to links, I would Charm one mob, and fight the other, when charm would wear, I'd horde lullaby it to sleep.

does the +1, or+2 instrument have any real effect on duration, or is it resist rate?
