Game Mechanics: No Boni from Bard Epic while equipped in offhand

[Ceinwen]

While equipped in offhand, Bard epic doesnt give any boni to instruments or singing.

Wiki says it's supposed to work.

If wiki is right, could you please fix this?

Thanks

Should be included in the October 2001 patch, along with skill increases for bard weapon skills:

Bards have had their 1h blunt and 1h slash skill caps increased to 250. Their piercing skill cap has been increased to 240. Their Offense skill cap has been raised to 252. Bards are also being moved to the same combat table with all the other melee and hybrid classes (save monks who have separate tables after level 55). Bards Parry skill cap has been raised to 185 as well. Finally, the Singing Shortsword can now be equipped in the off hand and still give full song enhancing benefits.
