> Good idea? Waste of time? Better way to gather the data?

It takes me 15 to 20 seconds to memmorize the L50 song, no joke.
It takes me about 5 seconds to memmorize the L1 song.

This is absolutely ridiculous; a L50 caster can mem a L49
spell in a a few seconds, and the L1 spells... hah... fraction
of a second. You can barely see the bar move. It's just done.

I do believe someone at Verant was looking into this. Since
spell casters got something pretty at L35 (no spellbook), I think
bards (also treated like casters) should get something too.

Dying and getting the songs needed back into slots takes me about
2 to 3 mins. Most casters are done in less than 30 seconds.

You've got to prove that there is no misbalance in letting bards
mem songs faster... and I mean to the tune of 75% reduction in
song mem time. What takes 4 seconds, should only take 1. What
takes 20 seconds, would take 5. And still we would be slower
than our magicuser equivalent.

Harm.
