As I said, my skills are all at or above 190, and approaching 200. My
regrets that your Brass skills are poor, perhaps a little practice is in
order. I have tested this and as I said several times I am missing notes on
songs I NEVER missed notes on before. I use Denons constantly, I dont know
too many Bards who dont, its an extremely effective DoT even sung, comparing
to Bellow. I havent had a problem starting this song since I was level 20.
Now all of a sudden last night it wouldnt fire once, and I tried a total of
maybe 30 times before I became frustrated and deleted it from memory. Now I
didnt even have a problem before last night with this song, any more than
any of the others with this mossed note phenomenom. So here I am all my
skills about to reach their skillcap, basically I have reached the peak of a
Bards skill carreer, and I can even consider missing a note? On a song that
I have been singing flawlessly for 15 levels? Your joking right? I mean the
very premise of having high skills is what awful,very bad, bad, poor,
average, good, very good, and Master. I am almost double the Master skill
level! So maybe its server based, or maybe some peoples skills were always
poor so they didnt notice any difference. What I am saying is I never had
this problem till the patch 2 weeks ago when they said they fixed mised
notes on high level songs. Or as I said at the time "Dumbing down the Bard"
so those too lazy to practice skills like Brass could actually get the songs
to fire.

And you know what? Not to sound rude, but I'm getting tired of people
saying
that there IS a bug without doing tests about it. Everyone here who has sat
down and started a variety of songs and counted missed notes seems to have
normal failure rates, yet you're accusing everyone of "black helicopter
crap".
I tested last night with my level 30 song, which I had never even played
before
(I just levelled), and I missed 6 notes in 60 tries. That's a reasonable
fizzle
rate, in my opinion. With Bellow, I missed one note in 60. With Hymn, I
missed
3 in 60. After that, I grew weary of counting. :)
If your test was Denon's Discord, I think I know what the problem might
be...
perhaps there IS a bug in that it's checking the instrument skill regardless
of
whether you're singing or playing an instrument. If you're like me, your
brass
skill is one of the only ones not maxed out, and denon's discord uses brass.
