Preperation
Before you head up to the plane, you should set things up so as to minimize lag. Turn off chat filters for other hits, other misses, and turn spells to GROUP and bard songs to ME. Turn off spell effects and dynamic lights and turn on server filtering. Turn off player names in the display options.
You should set up a mez hotkey that /oocs what target you're mezing.

I. BEFORE YOU PORT UP:

NPC spells: ON
others misses, hits, OFF

About all you will want on is ooc, shout, groupsay, guildsay, NPC spells, and your spells (so you can see if they land. Sucks not to be able to see "A Cleric of Innoruuk is snared").
