Ah, then why the heck are all the tanks going for STR stuff? Are they all
misguided? /shrug

The only reason I personally like more STR in equipment (not songs) is so
that I can carry more. I keep hearing that STR increases your damage in the
long run, but I've never really watched this very closely.

Lol. Ah, yea. I never looked that far ahead in bard songs. Well when you
are grouped with an enchanter, you obviously aren't in the group for your
speed boost. Would Verses of Victory be a poor option for a level 54+ bard?
