There can be Aychomo. It depends how you support your wrists. I can play for hours with no discomfort at home where I have my desk setup for it. Try it somewhere else and I last maybe 30 minutes before it gets sore. It's really not much different than getting it from typing, you just tend to hold that one hand very still which makes the effects felt faster.

Phantom mana. Yes, pulsing the 32 song as fast as you can generates phantom mana client side. Yes, I tested it. Take a necromancer and run them completely dry of mana, use a low mana spell to be sure, then try casting on of their pets without medding. Have them constantly click a circlet of shadows to synch the client and server manapools. Try this with 32 running normally and with you refreshing it as fast as you can. The pet will cast at the same time either way.

Personally, I hate being called upon to use this song. I am also happy to have the ability when it is vital. It is not a whole lot different than the necro mana transfer ability. (As someone previously posted in this thread.)

From talking to our casters, agro limits them far more than manapools. In a perfect world, where they can chain nuke at will, your endless mana point may be valid. For clerics, another cleric is far better than another bard after you have 1 bard.

This really is a problem only based on Luclin encounters. The problem there, which is quite well covered in 4000 threads, is the encounter design. I have rarely, very rarely, used this in PoP.
