No, a bard's song should NEVER be the primary breath source. The range is
much too small and while it lasts longer than most songs you can twist, I
don't think it's wise to risk it. Keep it incase someone misses a timer and
starts to drown, you can get it going fast enough to save them since there's
little chance someone will be able to cast enduring breath on them fast
enough.

Stamina is a major problem in kedge since it goes down and doesn't come back
up unless you get hit with Invigor so the stamina song should be cycled in
there during a battle for a few zaps. Lancers on the top level hit very hard
for their level, a decent group should be able to handle single pulls at
30th level. My ranger did lancers from 35-42 but I only risked them solo at
38th level (it's possible at 35 but I didn't want to risk it.). My necro
can't quite manage it at 30th level although a Mage can solo with their 29th
level earth pet.

Watching the spawns move about is key, it's not rough to single pull there.
There is a high level PH on the top level, it can be a Piercer (35ish),
Impaler (40-42), or the Fierce Impaler (42-43, drops Gloomwater or Darksea).
Pulling around the high level fish isn't tough, lull shouldn't be needed
although it might help.

As for the sharkskin drum ... only seen that mob once and it didn't have the
drum. It's kind of deep, very much a 45+ area of that zone. I love kedge and
can't wait till I'm going into Unrest to steal people from the basement camp
to go swimming with my bard.
