1) There's no way I'm twisting more than I have to during exp groups. I already have severe enough carpul tunnel's (sp) to dedicate feeding some idiot's mana pool who wants to nuke instead of heal. There was a great rant about this posted on The Concert Hall, but you never read that board or you'd know this, so I'll skip that subject.
2) We have better uses on raids. Rizolna's (sp) adds 15% dps to the entire group. This coupled with Warsong of Zek has the potential to add something like 1 rogue + 1 warrior's dps to a raid... from just 1 bard in 1 group. This paired with OOS, Erjav's, etc etc, I assume (hope) you know our uses on raids, does not give us more song slots OR time to sing them, let alone the 2 this song takes.
3) Use your brain. AE mana hitting 50 people is already 1000% more effective than a 5 person song, this coupled with the fact that you get phantom mana AND need to sing amp does not make this song a top priority, even with correct calculations (they aren't). The only time i've ever used this was when we had 5 bards on an Emp. raid, and I got stuck pumping mana for the chanters (while being backup mezzer). Our clerics have not many FTs, and somehow we manage to live through most of the high end game. Try it sometime.
4) Bards are already quite nerfed and bugged. I'd rather they fix our psalms they haven't fixed for, what, 2 years? It honestly doesn't matter to me if they nerf this, because its a near worthless song already.
Next week's rant: how warrior kick does to much damage.
