Subject: How in the world do you stack? I don't think stacking works at all . . .


OK, someone clear thnigs up for me. There is endless discussion about
"stacking" songs, which I understand to be, conceptually, playing two songs
at once. Now since this is, by design, impossible, it requires some sort of
special trick. I gather from what I read that the process involves starting
one song, waiting for the effect to take place, stopping the song and
quickly starting another, waiting for its effect to take place, and then
stopping that one to renew the first, and so on.

My only question: You can't be serious, can you?

Do people really do this? I mean, the chances of actually seeing the
effect of both songs at once seems so small, and the amount of button
pressing seems so hectic in mele battle. I have tried it, and have failed
entirely to get it to even begin to work . . . I mean, sure, I have the
icon for both anthem and the healing song on my screen, but I hardly ever
actually get a heal out of it, and rarely is my strength actually higher
when I actually swing. This "stacking" basically eliminates any effect of
either song!

I'm just wondering if stacking is something that a few over zealous but
very talkative Bards write about a lot here, or something that a lot of you
take seriously.

I for one am going to save my fingers the busywork . . .
