In all seriousness I am hoping for an intermediate between Desperate Dirge
and Bellow. Maybe a single target like bellow but for more damage and
instrument aligned at lvl 39. A higher level DoT might be a good one too,
but neither of these would have to wait for anything so its unlikely that
this is it. Most likely it is something we have no clue on, enchanting
those instruments we currently cannot make yet perhaps? A bard specific
trade skill like instrument making would be cool.

From: "Reece, Tom - 25IDL G4" <

One other thing about missing songs. Assuming Verant is having a hard time
trying to figure out what our missing songs should be, what does that say
about the 50-75 level songs once the expansion comes out? Who wants to bet
that we will have the same problem then as we do now?
