LOL, there are no high level bards playing because they get tired of being
treated as mana batteries by high level casters :p

Also as a high level bard I can tell you I tire quickly of the second class
status in item lottos as well. I got into a long discussion about this at
the last Efreeti camp I took part in.

Pixie Strike WAS changed. It used to not have the MR reduction effect.
When it was a straight mez/stun song it was much more effective. The MR
debuff introduced the dreaded double save.
