Yes, I pointed that out in the Ask the Archmage thread. I
said the song seems to be tuned for PvP instead of PvM, and
asked if it could be retuned to be effective in PvM as well.
Unfortunately, comparing what I read in the original thread
and seeing GZ's replies, it appears he ignored every question
that could be construed to imply that something wasn't working
right.
