Achromatic aura is closer to 10%, afaik.

It's normally not, but Bards can sometimes be the exception to this. You won't damagekill by straight-out spamming minorsecond unless you're an artied Demigod - sticking manabarbs and egovice, though, is another story. Achromatic aura is also a solid 20% (I think?) weakness to all magic damage, too, and shouldn't be sneezed at.
this.if you're able to buy credits, trans starhymn first. if not, buy guild and city credits as often as yov can.
as for the horehound/earwort echo, I didnt find it to be that useful, because your enemy can eat these even if they are in octave/earache. a better idea is an echo/colornote to show when they actually get hit by vice/barbs every time

It's also noteworthy to point out that Minorsixth (whatever it is that drains mana/ego, to combo with tritone/egovice) doesn't actually deal damage. It just 'drains' the respective attributes. It's hard to make them scale significantly as a result of this, and I don't think most +damage skills can help with it.

I have been doing as Furien said above and it works okay in groups I think, but in the arena it is a bit off for me. I actually ended up getting some credits and I am now sitting on:
I now have some actual offensive song options, but I still lack a lot of key things like Contortion in Acrobatics, or anything in Glamours. All in all I am excited to play with these new song effects.(BLIND SONG IS KNEEL SONG DUH!) Or the CrusaderCanto, though I am not sure from the description what it actually does.
EDIT: Being able to refrain song and such makes this much more pleasant and quite a bit more interesting~!
