Shield of song? Or more mana?

[jazzman_so_fresh]

What should bards sing when your group has pulled too many, and people's homes is getting to 60%?

I do cantana because that's 20hp+12mana per tick, but what do you sing in between cantana refreshes? If you spam your mana song, that's 5 mana, which converts to about 15hp (clerics heal at about 3hp per mana). So wouldn't it be better to sing shield of song? That's a 40dmg absorption (regular guitar), plus extra if the mob is a caster.

Those numbers seem like a no brainer, but how come people keep asking me for mana song? Is it because there are other casters in the group?

Thx
