UNCONSCIOUS Level: B11 Cost: 30 mana Target: one monster When: non-combat Delay: one combat round Duration: instantaneous Effect: Unconscious blocks one attack of the monster and sets them to a stunned position. Unconsciousness lasts for a short period of time, after which the mob will by restored to its previously alert state. Mobs are less likely to save from an unconscious song. Usage: sing 'unconscious' <victim> See also: Sleep Spell
Strategy
Mobs cannot save (currenly) vs the UNCONSCIOUS song, and therefore is it an efficient way to "sleep" mobs prior to a backstab skill attack. Use this method to quickly level any character class, though it can be slightly more risky at lower levels due to the smaller backstab bonus multiplier and access to +dam eq and large damage dice stabbers.
Check out the dagger page for the best daggers for your class, alignment and level.
A character with at least 35 dam bonus can do almost 850 damage on a backstab at level 24 with a 15 avg dam stabber. The amount of melee exp you get from this initial damage round added to the mob xp make this technique a winner in speed and efficiency of leveling through happy hours.
