Crowd Control: Fascinate Enchantment and Conjuration - When monsters become too overwhelming for the party, it's time to call Maple Story Mesos in a Bard (or a Sorcerer, Cleric, Wizard...a caster) to do some Crowd Control (CC) magic.
Sometimes it's easy to take CC for granted because it's in our nature to use brute force to take down monsters and enemies. For the more patient bunch, CC buys enough time for the party to rethink plans and strategies. Most of all, it makes things a little less chaotic and more manageable.
Casters have quite a number of Enchantment and Conjuration spells they can use depending on the monster type.
Some spells are useless on certain monster types, but sometimes, in the middle of an intense battle, some casters find themselves using enchantment spells on monsters that are known to be immune to the spell that has been cast. This really happens even in mid- to high- level quests.
For the benefit of Bards and casters who will be tasked to do Crowd Control, here are some of the things you need to remember to make sure that your CC works for the entire party. This is not to say that non-Bards and non-Casters don't need to know any of these.
