Uhm I'd rather not have all these exceptions and special things that work differently. I prefer consolidated things.
A third tier of a song that cannot be stacked with the previous tiers because it's too powerful sounds like a very bad design idea to me.

So that was really the animation for March3? I always assumed it was Pining Nocturne's animation.
As for the rest I dunno what to say.

If I were to hope for something, I would hope for BRD to get more songs, especially more unique effects. COR got more and more and more and more special buffs, and they can also do very nice damage. All we can do is buff and we got nothing special, most of the times we're stuck recasting marches. /sigh
But we all know that's not going to happen, so from this light a new tier for an already existing song is definitely more likely.

Still, I remain unconvinced by march3. I mean I get your awesome post (tnx btw!) but you're making it look as if DDs *need* to be at the ~80% haste cap 24/7.
But do they really?
I'd say that it's too easy already to reach zerg-like setups/buffs in situations where it shouldn't normally be allowed to reach those conditions.
This makes us players too powerful, and to counterbalance that developers have a hard time creating challenging mobs, up to the point they're either too easy (99% of the time) or just retardedly broken/annoying/frustrating.

Full haste cap should be something we give in special situations (and we can already do that with soulvoice, maybe with Marcato too), should it really be something to demand from developers to give to us? Should it be something to aim for?
Not saying I have the answer, but I do ask myself these questions and honestly I'm not really sure if I really want a March3 yet, I'm still kinda torn.

On one hand I'd love other things, and I'd rather make so the game doesn't become even more broken than it already is. But on the other hand a third tier of march would open up new possibilities and, in the end, it's still better than getting the nothing we've been practically getting lately.
Meh =/ Hard to explain how I really feel about this.
