the level 50 song is called Verses of Victory, but it doesn't say who wrote
it =P i am guessing Vilia, who also wrote Verses of Celerity.
i am assuming the fact that Desperate Dirge hurts yourself also has to be a
bug. it is supposed to be a desparation song, so using it should not kill
yourself, since you would be low on health when you use it!
my other bard friend suggested using Curtailing Chant before one of the
tuyens songs to lower the mob's magic resistance thus making chant of flame
not get resisted, and she said it worked pretty well. plus you can stack
the fufil's and tuyen's chant songs to do some decent DoT damage.
by the way, no new songs in erudin, just level 43 and 50 in freeport and
qeynos.
