Harmony was not fixed until early final. Sometime around June. I think
it's likely that he played during beta (where we all learned to do without
Harmony and a few other spells that were broken/not implemented at the
time.). Because of this he may just never have bothered learning it when he
got the chance in final. Or he asked friends who played during beta and was
told "It's broken, don't bother"
I myself fell victim to the 'beta mentality' and when my ranger had the
chance to get harmony at 15 never used it until my mid 20's.... go figure.
Once I realized it actually worked I was thrilled. To top all that off most
of the sites listing spell effects were just cloning older lists made during
beta. None reflected that harmony worked correctly (nor what it did) until
late summer.
Kind of funny.
