We were told that Fufill's was improved a couple patches ago and not only
did I not notice any improvement whatsoever, the song, like many, is pretty
darn useless in doing what it is supposed to be doing. Its a crappy DoT
that is rivaled by bellow in damage capacity and a crappy debuff that only
lasts like 2 ticks...bleh. I don't see how it was improved to be honest.
Using a drum does not seem to have any added benefit.
There could be one problem with your and my testing though, we are testing
it on ourselves and therefore under PvP conditions, right? Would that change
its affect somewhat? I dunno it is all very perplexing.
They need to get rid of the monkey who codes the "fixes" to our songs and
replace it with an orangutan
Ooooh, I need some sleep! Cranky today...
