This is somewhat countered by the fact that it's harder for us to get to Astral to kill Manifestations. Yes, we can get there with cubix/ships, but you can get to the Etherwilde with ships as well.

Correct, Magnagora has never broke 1 million, we were getting close, but right about that time all the Lords got hit... Still never broke it, and looks like we are 100k down... probably due to bards....

Speaking of them, Necroscream has some really nice skills to raise eq/bal recovery time for allies, and a nice damage increasing song for citymembers... It would be nice to see them use it.

If they are there to be support, well sing me some songs, I need faster balance recovery, hell they even have something for demons too.... also a cool make you into undead for a time... not sure if that makes me lich like with lich benifits, but I think I will be having to buy me a bardic slave girl soon... and keep her chained in my manse, when needed she will sing me songs.....
