Symphonic Harmony weapons still bought/sold and wielded during Luclin, suggesting that the aggro-reducing proc was retained its value despite the associated ratios.

Reply Re: Bags
Ram, did you ever do that trade for the Symphonic Sabre? I would trade one for 2 bags, plus I would throw in 500pp. Sound good?

This is great to right people , in a party when it procs takes agroe off bard singing dont mock it till ya try it . Not braggin it works well for my style , I dont have to do super damage in a group, just sing and survive this will help for people with open minds. Cant talk if ya dont walk
and i tried most .Symphonic sabre has same proc and its oober in my opinion ,so this is great for non oober budgets WTG verant outsmarted the smart
mouths but maybe im only one who looks at this in
this way

I bought this weapon cheap, and I must say I love it. It clears you off the hate list of the targeted mob. It really works well if you play songs that piss them off, such as charm or mez songs. One proc and the target switches to someone else (make sure you have tanks in your group). Very helpful. Also weapon procs a lot and I haven't seen one single resist yet.
Mention of songs still generating high aggro as late as mid 2003, before what seems to have been a quiet nerf with LDoN's release in September of 2003 or in the months that followed.

Score: Decent [3.00]
As a 57 bard, I can say that while we will never be #1 in either aggro or dps, we are up there. Yes, our melee dps sucks due to lack of dual wield. Yes, because of this our melee aggro sucks. However, as I found out tanking around the castle in PoD (now there was a challenge for a guy with <1k ac and 2.2k hp), we can generate hella aggro with the right songs, and these same songs put me over 100 dps, which is ungodly for a bard if he wants to live in most groups :P. If I was slowing and bardnuking I could hold aggro pretty well. I wasnt the best tank, but we didnt wipe ever and I held aggro for most of the fights.
