I probably end up leading about 1/4 of the time, more when I'm in pickup groups,
less in guild events. I really would prefer not to have to; leadership requires
a fair amount of direction-giving during fights, and that interferes with
song-weaving. I don't think it's as much of a problem when my warrior leads, for
example.
