While there's truth to this, I've always felt that how you prepare for the eventual RNG F U is the biggest part of being a chanter, especially if you're soloing a lot.

It's all too easy to be lazy and not fully buff, or cheap and use a rune 3 instead of a 4 or 5. That stuff will eventually get you killed.

It's easy to know "calm is awesome!" and to solo a ton of nasty stuff with it because 90% of the time it works with no hitches. But it's effort to plan for how to maximize your chances of surviving (and maybe even still winning the fight) when you aggro 4 harmtouching mobs with the first-cast calm crit fail... let alone to kinda rehearse it in your head while you're medding before a fight or something to be sure that when you need to intercept those mobs that are charging at you with your pet, target the right one for an AE mez, have the right spells loaded so after you do probably eat a couple HTs you can get your runes back up before a charm breaks and you get summoned by the two mobs still not CCed... etc.

Yes. I have no life.
