Firstly - Thanks Haynarr for th ebig bard upgrade! I've got a few issues here

Referring to previous comments on Selos:

1) My first tick of selos is a tiny improvement in speed, regardless of whether I'm wearing drums, weapons or nothing at all
2) Second tick of selos is **fast**. Its almost as if the +% modifier is applied cumulatively, instead of as a refresh
3) Subsequent ticks of selos (past the 2nd tick) do not seem to apply more +% modifier

Some notes regarding Selos:
a) selos appears to be slightly faster without drums
b) my partner thinks that this "fast" selos run speed is actually closer to correct for classic (as in, prior to the patch, selos appeared to barely out run an equiv. level sow) - she played a bard for many years
c) north ro/oasis/south ro aren't NEARLY as big anymore!

Cassindra's Chorus of Clarity (L32)
This spell now effects bard mana which it should never do. My understanding is that the *only* thing that modifies a bard's mana regeneration rate is Flowing Thought items. Its very nice, but not classic I suspect. I certainly recall bards as far forward as PoP begging for FT items on raids, to assist charm kiting endeavours after death.

Songs Generally
I) Songs will not continue to play if you're sitting down. Classically, I think you could start a song then sit, play with your balls or whatever and it would continue to refresh. This no longer occurs. Occurs with/without instruments.
II) Not sure if it's intended, but previously, my song never failed once it ticked once and I let it go. Now, it fails quite often (say, once every 10 ticks or so), without any external factors, such as an axe to my skull. Occurs with/without instruments.

One last very random thing: my hand drums appear to be a flute graphic :P
