i tried fufil's also (did not try either tuyen's song) and all i got was 3
ticks of 10dmg and -14 magic resistance. no change with mistmoore battle
drum. from what i remember this is exactly what it was pre-patch. oh well.
along with that and no breastplate a pretty disappointing day.

Oh, I almost forgot too... anyone notice less missed notes? i started,
stopped, and restarted the level 50 song 10 times with no missed notes. i
was only confirming what another 50 bard noticed. that would be impossible
pre-patch, that song missed notes more than not. so one good thing at least
