Well why else would you want it for then?
Stop talking all cryptic and mysterious like you have some arcane knowledge that you're the only one to know and just state it: what on the bard epic is so amazing that you absolutely have to have it? What is game changing about it?
Sorry Keke, but i disagree. You know you can switch instruments while your song is casting right? You have 3 seconds between each songs to switch to the appropriate instrument. Put instrument in secondary slot, start casting, when song pulses, start the second song and take a whole 3 seconds to switch to other instrument.
I do it while melee'ing and having a mob mezzed and another charmed hitting the main target.
Now if twisting resists is so critical to the success of your raid, you shouldn't be meleeing at all, resists songs are percussion, so you equip your drums (which provide more resists than the epic) and stand in range and twist resists.
My point being: if you have your epic and think that it will allow you to stop switching instruments, you're doing it wrong. Either you switch the instruments to get the maximum effect because the situation matters, or it doesnt and you dont switch instruments and keep meleeing, in which case having your epic is a non-factor because its modifier is lower or equal to the instruments you buy at the vendor.

Certainly i'm not suggesting it's NECESSARY. You're absolutely right, you can completely play just fine without it. And in certain cases, should. A really heavy dragon fight where every resist point counts, you should be using a drum. But to completely dismiss the bard epic as being totally useless when there is a benefit to having it and it does make you a more effective player in a number of different situations is going too far. When I say "game-changer," I don't mean "you're not a good bard unless you have it," I mean "it changes the way you play the game." That's all.
