True. The timer is longer than that on Harmtouch which is practically
irresistible and does far more damage, even if only to a single target.

My problem with this song is the concept. If this is indeed a "Desperate
Dirge", that can only be used
once every 40 minutes (the longest timer of any effect in the game, if I'm
not mistaken), it should, in at
least some small number of expected circumstances, have a significant
effect. It doesn't. By the time
you get it, the amount of damage it does is inconsequential to the eventual
outcome of any fight, and is
actually much more likely to be detrimental due to the AE component (which
wakes up anything mezzed)
coupled with the ludicrous resists (which wakes up anything mezzed,
frequently without damaging them in
the slightest). And the level increases that Verant gave to this song are
laughably small compared to the
increased HP total of higher-level MOBs. They really have no clue.
