You know, I thought about launching into a tirade and making up a bunch of ways their nerfing bards, but decided against it.
Actually, that thread I linked is a little on the old side. The devs have said that because of the new "war" changes required for Devastation to function correctly that this swarm kiting side effect is here to stay. From now on if you want to swarm you need to break charm above 20%.
Another thing they've announced for the next patch, and this is sure to piss some people off, because people were exploiting the different factions in devastation, Fading Memories is being changed to only remove you from the aggro list of [b]up to six[/b] NPCs at a time. If you would still be on ANY aggro list after a Fade, the fade won't wipe you from any aggro lists though.
Oh yeah, and bellow now has a 0.1 second cast time so it can't be used while a song is running.
