I don't think we can judge anything from these pathetic figures:
> Song: Niv's Melody of Preservation (47th Level)
> Skill: Stringed Instruments
> Effects: Strength: 10
> Protective Skin: 10
> Healing/Damage: 1
> Max HP: 25
How do we know that it is a 10 dmg shield?? It could last 10 seconds, or
absorb 10 hits.
To me it looks like a multiple use song like what you people was suggesting
our songs should be like.
It gives a Str buff, a protective skin (not sure on effect), to me it looks
as though it heals 1 point of dmg and dmg's the enemy with 1 point of dmg
per tick. Kind of like a life tap spell. Not sure about the last bit
though, might be that it gives bonus hp's to a max of 25 (skin like wood
buff sorta thing.
All these details are very vague, best wait for it to be properly tested.

PS Did a lava corpse recovery last night, dumb monk's first visit in the
zone and he falls in the lava and dies, I can't locate the corpse till he
gets back so I wait, when he gets back I tell him to follow me but be
carefull and watch your step, what does he do? He falls in again, lucky my
group could levitate him and he got out, and I got his corpse so he was ok.

Still though, if you're fighting more than 1 monster, you better have
more than 1 healer. An optimistic number would be 30 damage saved by
using this song. How much mana does 1 tick of manasong regen?
It just sounds like a disappointingly low effect for a level 47 song.
