the problem is, i think these are bogus reasons.

>"Takes too much mana, so I can't charm."

this is valid if you are charming. it seems like most bards don't charm in groups with
an enchanter, so that makes this only valid in non enchanter groups.

>"Takes too much mana, so the recast is way too long."

recast is not an issue since you can swap it out whenever you don't have enough
mana to cast it and swap it back in when you do.

>"The damage it does is pitiful, especially when you look at the mob
>scaling between 50 and 60."

it may be pitiful, but so is bard melee. does that mean you don't melee at all?
it may not be the be all end all of all damage songs or spells, but that doesn't mean
that there is no place for it.

>"It's AE, and I'd NEVER use an AE song.. The Chanter would kill me."

this is just so wrong on so many levels that it would take a whole other post to address
this. for the sake of brevity, i'll just point to my earlier posts where i pointed out when an
excellent time to use this song was, which wouldn't mess up the enchanter at all and would
do a significant amount of damage.

sorry, maybe i misinterpreted your 90% statement then, my bad. i originally thought you
meant that 90% of the time, bards would be using it. but maybe you meant that 90% of
the bards would use it once in a while. in that case, i think it has it's uses once in a while
if you use it correctly.
