how can you consider that without taking into account if it even has a chance
to be implemented or whether it's balanced? i mean, ok here, let's make it the
normal recast time of any normal bard song and have it do 1500 damage to a
single target and make it save against poison instead of magic. now 90+% of
bards will mem this song, heh. now you might say ''that's ridiculous'', to which
i would agree, but why is it ridiculous? because it's not balanced. because
it's not realistic. then you could get into the whole debate as to whether all
songs need to have 90% of a class use it or not, but i guess that's another topic.
