Wish they would raise caps on songs to be more in line with new instrument modifiers.  If anyone has the mana/endurance refill potions from claim rewards and you think you can use it to refill mana after death I have bad news it doesn't work it only refills bards endurance I was very ticked off.

LOL

Try using the Vet rewards.. I believe they do not fill mana either.

On the plus side I did not get mana drained like everyone else in my raid the other night so I believe we don't have much to complain about.

"working as intended" comes to mind sorry Zevs

I can see their reasoning for nothing affecting bard mana, but it's damned annoying that the Staunch Recovery doesn't do it.  It's got a very long recast on it, so it's not very exploitable.  The only reason I can see for the AA not to restore bard mana is that they'd have to do a major code change.  Pretty much the only thing that will touch your mana pool is Divine Rez, and iirc, that's relatively recent.
