Sorry for the length, I'm replying to 4 digests worth of posts...

Well, there are a couple that are arguably useless (or so I hear, not at a
level to see for myself), so not having ALL your songs doesn't make you less
of a bard (imho). I've got two bards at level 8 on two servers. The second
one I started never bought Jig and hasn't missed it yet. Eventually I'll
get that one, but stamina hasn't been a thing to worry about yet.

Not to pick on your grammar, Sylly, but I'm not sure what you meant right
there. Are you saying it won't do me much good until 2 more levels (level
10) and then it will always be a keeper? Or are you saying after level 10 I
won't use it much?

Hmm, I'd been liking West Karana. Room to run, less lag. I'll have to
check out Paw though. Can't stand Blackburrow. Is the loot in Paw similar
to that in BB?

THANK YOU!! I thought I needed a cleric to cure poison. This is very good
to know.

Aaaahhh!!! I've been selling those pelts!! Of course, on Tunare, the
Millers' life expectancies are about 3 seconds anyway...

Hmm, I was under the impression you had to keep them within the songs range
and keep lament in your mix of songs. Guess not. So, let's say I lament a
blue mob, pull a white mob off to the side & kill it, then decide to leave
the blue mob alone. When the lament wears off, am I on it's hate list? And
if I am, will it come across a zone to find me?

So if lament is really that great, why are you higher level folks always
arguing about whether crowd control is best done with Lullaby, Chain, or
Charm? Is it just that they hit multiple mobs at once? Or are they better
than Lament even for single mobs?
Thanks to everyone who's joined in on this thread. Sorry to be such a
newbie.
