You were grouped. :) Our AE songs (thank goodness!) don't affect our party
members. Good thing - if they did, I'd be pretty much out of a job. A great
annoyance though is that AE songs do hurt party members pets, making it
very tricky to group with them. Wouldn't it make sense that if our buff songs
don't help pets, our damage songs wouldn't hurt them? :( Ah well...
