I agree Atonal. I mean Kaz, if it was as easy and beneficial as you describe don't you think a lot
of Bards would be doing it? There's a lot of people on this list that have played them for 2+
years and while very few of us may be "hard-core" gamers, the majority of us can key mash with the
best of 'em.
I'm curious if any of the BOTB competing Bards, especially those that made it a couple rounds,
have any comments. This would kinda be the acid test. If they, the truly hard-core crowd, twisted
four or more songs when efficiency, effectiveness and quick thinking were all needed for survival,
then I would think more seriously about it.

A macro cannot adjust to a missed note, and becomes a liability in the case<BR>
of repeated missed notes. I tried it, a while back. You can't pick up<BR>
where you missed a note. The social has to start at the beginning again,<BR>
once you manage to stop it, and start it again.<BR>
<BR>
A macro also cannot change the math (since you like math) involved, in cast<BR>
times, and duration times. While I haven't sat down and formulated all the<BR>
possible combinations (I'd rather spend what little free time I get playing<BR>
the game), I'm relatively certain that there is no combination of songs that<BR>
allows for a true, no dropped effects, 5 song twist. You will get dropped<BR>
effects, and, in my opinion, any "twist" that inherently drops effects, is<BR>
no twist at all.<BR>
<BR>
Feel free to continue to disagree, however, you can't change the fact that,<BR>
if dropped effects don't matter, then we can all twist 8 songs effortlessly.<BR>

I haven't a high enough level bard to test it, but surely writing a macro (a<BR>
social button) would eliminate most of the complaints you have with twisting<BR>
four.<BR>
