Definitely doesn't help with songs.

Of all the melee classes (if you include bard in that category) bard benefits from haste the least. bard melee dps is poopy...multiplying poopy by haste is still poopy...but it is better poopy.

The stats on CoF are really good regardless of haste...so it is still one of best items in slot for bard. for its cost and rarity, especially in classic vanilla, it would be hard justifying giving it to bard...but not totally useless.

Bard can honestly be played naked as long as you have your instruments and know what you are doing...so most gear is of less utility to them compared to totally gear dependent melee classes.

It sounds suspiciously like you are asking if the bard in your group that rolled need on a FBSS is full of shit...and he isn't. That camp offers little to bard for all the work and crap he has to put up with (assuming he is pulling and CC'ing) if he can't roll on the FBSS...so wholeheartedly he can roll need on it.

Also keep in mind that you will get your sky belt basically just for showing up when you get there.
