Subject: RE: Clarity and song/spell stacking


There are many of these abound. Druid regen must be cast before Hymn of
Restoration is used or it will not take hold. Another one that you high
level ppl might or might not know about - Lvl 48 DoT will cause a shaman or
enchanter Yawn Mob spell to not stick while it is in effect(I don't know
what these spells are called, I just say YAWN!) But I have no problem
getting the DoT to stick after they have Yawned the mob. Shaman friend of
mine claims he cannot use quickness on me when my speed songs are in effect,
but an enchanter friend has never complained about that (haven't formally
tested it). It's kinda hard to tell in real-time if all the haste effects
are stacking when you wear a sash, use bard speed attack songs, and have a
quickness type spell on ya (well it is for me). John? =) The icons show
stacked at least.

I would assume that if Chords of Cessation's slowing effect is messing up a
shaman's Yawn, the lvl 20 chords of melodic binding song may do the same?
Again, haven't tested it.
