Drums of Beast for Occlusion. Denon's Horn of War for Tank groups (dat DS song). Lyran's Lute for DPS groups / AE fights (dat HP regen). Ervaj's Flute for questing (dat faction song).

Basically, bards will want to throw on the primary instrument of the song they're doing and secondary the epic. I think you get sufficient procs secondarying the epic to maintain it on the group.

Cycling in BoH for a free clicky will be nice though.

I'm not drumming for occlusion for mobs for group content, and in my limited testing, flute does not modify amount of faction provided.

I'll likely remain DWing in group content, only swapping in a lute in significant downtimes or for lulls when initially splitting camps.

BoH will go back into my mainhand until I can get a drums of the beast, then ill mostly be using those

Try flute factioning on beta. I'm 99% sure I tested it by faction songing a Coldain guard and then using the gnomes to drop my faction 1 message at a time and con until I dropped from Kindly to Amiable. Then I put on flute and did the song and I jumped back to Kindly.

Almost 100% sure on that. I also checked faction song and alliance neck and they didn't stack using the same method.

Also what evilkorn said. Epic doesn't become offhand usable for instrument purposes until 10-11 months down the line. Gonna be a ways away.

Definitely correct on this. I tested as well.

However, I'm not positive on the flute actually changing faction. I did not notice much difference from the sky one when I tested, but perhaps, I was not at the right levels to test well.
