Maybe its just the groups I'm in. We have both an enchanter and a shaman
I'd say 90% of the time.
On a side note, thank Marr giants can't be mesmerized! They love having me
group with them to fight Mountain giants since the enchanter can't mez I get
to use my full arsenal in several different ways.

Subject: Re: [eqbards] Song Damage
hehe you guys that analyze everything to death make my head spin :)
At 40th I have the following songs memmed usually:
1) Hymn (Face it, you always will)
2) Celerity
3) Clarity
4) Fear
5) Accelerando/Jig/Lament/Psalm of Warmth/Psalm of Cooling/(insert useful
song here)
6) Pixie Strike
7) Charm/Bravura
8) Chains/Largo's
When soloing I change out 6 and 5 for either: Fufil's and Tuyens (targetted
DoT's for kiting/charm kiting)
or: CoD and DDD
I'd say that I rarely use my level 1 to 10 songs except for Jig (which will
always have its uses) Selo's and Hymn
Other than that once you get the next haste song upgrade you dump your
anthem (36th)
Song makeup, for me anyway, depends highly upon the group I'm working with.
If we have a shaman I mem my enchanter songs (pixie, charm, lullaby, fear,
chains)
If we're with an enchanter I go with my ranger set (chains, chant, Psalm,
Heal)
etc...
I'd hardly say that I use my 1-10th songs more than my others. It just
depends on the situation I'm in.
