hmm...i am sure everyone will have lots of good ideas....let me throw out some
ideas for possible new songs:
1. A Stun. This would be awesome...but most likely broken since we need no
mana.
2. this one is a little bizarre..dunno if they can do it...a group Damage
Shield that has a 2ndary effect (example: a Lightning-based Damage shield
[shield of static? <grin>] that does X damage and the attacker has to save or
be stunned for 3 sec or something.)
...i am big on the idea of a stun...
3. Bards need a party buff that directly adds to attack (ala grim aura, fire
fists) . Probably would do other stuff too...dunno how to present that as a
viable idea.
4. we're missing the 39 song? How about a self-only vampiric regeneration
song...where heal like 10% of the damage we do( in melee). dunno what the
efficiency would have to be to make the song useable...John(tm)?
5. Really bizarre...a flute based song...that summons a pet (preferably a
giant rat) that should be a reasonable power level (like the shaman pet...12+
levels behind shaman) You could balance this by: making the song have to be
running continuous, with a 5 min repop on the button. Or, have it drain mana
(like the shaman spell frenzy) and die when bard is at 0 mana.
...i was shooting for a pied piper type thing here.
6. I want an upgraded AE mez...with a built in DOT. <Grin> It drops the dot,
and then they have to make their Mez save...ok this one is stupid...but it
sounded good before my morning coffee.

23rd song Half elf bard
Glyphed Aegiss
27th level Dark Elf Magician and slayer of Travis Two Tone
(up to apprehensive in mistmoore...if i remember correctly)

PS. In reference to the mage-pet-root thread, we practically have 3 pets...the
air pet is horrendously awful. No earth pet is the rule when there is a
neccesity for snare. This does become complicated if the pet is the primary
tank...because the earth pet has 1.5X the hit points of the water pet and
probably 2.5X the fire pet. But the general rule is to not use earth in
dungeons at all, or when snare is being cast...any magician should follow this
rule...the earth pet is the "soloing" pet basically.

I'm sorry, what was that last one? Don't eat pork? God has spoken. Is that the word of God or is that pigs trying to out smart everybody?"
