1. Party Bind
We did not want a bind song if it was identical to casters, however if the
song allowed you to bind anyone anyplace (melees included) then with spell
reagent costs and mana tolls, we would certainly welcome it, especially at
higher (51+) levels since expansion zones are rumored to be mammoth in
scale.

I don't think, granted that we're getting at level 51+ a song which
duplicates the spell every caster gets by level 14, that this mana cost and
reagent are justified. How often will you USE a party-bind song at 51+
level? I haven't even bothered getting bound in about 5 levels now, at 44 -

and I could get bound any night of the week. There are always casters who
can cast bind (with our clarity their downtime is minimal), so this song has

very limited use at best - it can be hard to find people to bind you, but as

you increase in level you make more and more friends, and this hasn't
troubled me in 30 levels. It's low on my list of desirable songs, and the
mana cost and reagent seem excessive. Unless we can also gate, binding is
NOT a big deal, and of the two gate is 300 times moe useful.

The only comment I have is that if this was a bind whole group anywhere it
would be very useful, though more appropriate perhaps for one of the missing
songs rather than 51+
