Just read about the most recent patch on EQVault.

Those bard related:

A fix for Selos Consonant Chain. The exact wording is "that it will now work
better". Can anyone confirm if it is now working the way it did before the
previous patch or if it now has a higher success rate?

There is also mention that a bug in some of the AoE code has been fixed and that
spells will now affect more monsters. I guess its possible that our songs are
included in this also. Sure hope this doesn't mean even more problems with the
z-axis bug.

Syvelian`s Anti-Magic Aria has been fixed. I'm only 22d level so am not aware
of what the problem was.

Not bard related but a topic of interest is that Lore items in containers that
are dropped should not be destroyed anymore.

Galtin of E'ci (Back after a two week vacation and still at 22d level due to
numerous deaths)

P.S.

There were some pretty good topics discussed while I was away. It took me
almost all day at work to read through all the digests. Didn't get a lick of
work done:-)
