Still waiting on lvl 32 mana song to return to its original form (wmp please).

Also, Bind Sight song (Lvl 34 Lyssa's Solidarity of Vision) does not work on corpses. In classic, a great way to scout, pull, and especially find corpses, was a combination of the two lyssa's lvl 4 Locating Lyric, and lvl 34.

Thirdly, and this might piss off some bards, but classic is classic, bards should not be affected by any kind of mana regeneration spells, nor any kind of mana drains. Currently, clarity and our own mana songs help us, I haven't tried manastone or mod rods but I presume they do as well. In the same vein, sitting to meditate should only yield 1 extra mana (for a total of 2 per tick), and not the amount it gives now (didn'tcount but about 15 ish).

thanks for your time,

Astuce Subterfuge

You 100% positive that bards shouldn't be able to use mod rods or Manastones? Bards are even listed as a class on the manastone, ill look it up and edit it in.

While I was looking that up, look what I found-

http://www.fohguild.org/forums/mmorp...rumors-15.html

"So seeing how mage and druid DS do not stack, you casted mage DS than used the bard (druid) clicky version and than overwrote that with the real druid version leaving the mage version there and than reapply the bard actual song version for 3 dam shields. You could take it even farther but you get the idea.

Worked on wep procs also, on tough to slow mobs chanter would tash and than bard would use tash stick and double stick it.

Worked with most any right click items or procs when used by bards.

I remember our first roy kill, the shaman and chanters just could not slow roy no matter what we tried and we kept wiping. Finally I pulled out my truncheon of Doom and tanked him the whole fight with my trunch while keeping him slowed from procs. When I called "Roy Slowed" in chat everyone was like WTF..."

Flowing Thought, Mana Regen AA's, Divine Rez, Tribute stuffs, and GM rez are the only things that affect bard mana regeneration in Everquest.

Absolutely 100 positive.

Quickly searching I can point to:

About manastone:

Score: Decent
No instant/duration spells/songs will give a bard mana. This includes necro twitches and mod rods. Thus, a manastone will not give a bard any mana.

Right above that post is this comment
"Yes does work for bards, but only adds 2 mana for level 45 bard"

In other words, we need more evidence.

This sounds like the normal mana regen occurred while the guy was testing it... just my thought.

No manastone for bard was always common knowledge, no research required

This. Allakhazam has a lot of incorrect and contradictory information. Nothing enhanced bard mana regen except what was listed above.

Awesome, did more detective work on it to be 100% sure. Added it and posted it on its own thread.

Thanks for your hard work ladies and gents!

didn't see anyone post about it. But when you get stunned via spell for certain. The next 10 or so times you try to start a song its bugged, and you just get song ends.

I have never had this issue.
