From reading posts about Pining Nocturne, it seems that its duration is increased with instrument skill (and All "Songs+X" from Gjallarhorn) and it doesn't stack with Addle.
The last, bolded part has been bugging me for awhile now... It'd very odd for a Brd song to not stack with other similar enfeebling effects and the notion that it doesn't is really bothersome. It kind of takes away from how Brd can support and add to all other jobs, which I feel is and has been the core of Brd for years.
Everything in this update looks pretty nice for Brd, and I know the dev. team has their hands fairly full trying to deal with other jobs (incessant crying from Drks everywhere...) but it'd be really nice if we could get some confirmation on their thoughts behind Pining Nocturne.
Basically, please make Pining Nocturne stack with a Whm/Rdm's Addle spell. If this would truly be too overpowered, please tell us why.
If the trade-off between having it stack with Addle is not having its duration enhanced by instrument skill, then it'd be nice if they'd just lowered its base duration to that of Carnage Elegy (3min).
Thank you for reading this if you have! >.<
