Spells: bard songs bugged gain

thank god [You must be logged in to view images.

I also noticed that if I slow down and only twist 3, the casting bar appears more often, so in the beginning I thought theyr'e just trying to add a level of difficulty to 4-twisting on P99 :P

Another note, it seems like when I'm being stunned while "casting" a song, it will sometimes just keep on playing (like channeling for a caster). Now it's been a while since i played a bard on live, but was it always that way? I have a distinct memory of having a special AA just for that, could be wrong though

I for one never never attempt to twist 4 songs when actually in a live crowd control situation and I'm fairly certain that the groups I play in understand that when there are multiple mobs in camp they will most likely not see any songs in their song window.

If there is one add I charm it until the other mob is dead. If there are two mobs I will charm one and have it offtank the other or just back and forth mez both (depending on charm resist rate of the mob).

I do agree with you that if the casting bar is truly disappearing prematurely, then it should be fixed but getting interrupted a lot due to being hit and nuked by mobs is just the way it goes. Definitelly stick to 1 or 2 songs max when you are dealing with CC. The group can do without 20 seconds of regen and haste. (The exception to this might be a magic resist song if you have multiple nukers in camp.)

Just my opinion.
