Sirens and Strike use wind. I would love a special wind
instrument that lets charm last longer, or be more reliable,
or gets us past the L37 limit. It'd also be nice if it
allowed Strike to have an accompanying memory blur, so you
could use it more like the enchanters mesmerize - Strike the
green mob and it forgets about you.

A special stringed instrument would not be bad either.
Improved healing is probably out of the question, but how
about improved Lullaby?

Also, there seems to be a hole in the percussion instruments
(Mistmoore drum is a 20% boost, Selo's Drum is a 30% boost).
It might be nice to have a L15-20ish mob drop a drum that
gives a 10% boost, though at that level 10% is probably only
a point or two of extra resist.
