SE! Make Swiftsong Passive! Bards, unite!!

Hello Developers!

I know this sounds minor, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make Swiftsong passive, or a persistant aura. It makes sense to disable this skill in combat, but it doesn't make sense that we have to cast it:

1) After Zoning
2) After Teleporting
3) After Aggroing a Mob

:mad::mad::mad:

The end result is that few people use it, and further, that we have to have it hotkeyed, taking up an important space for, say, Wanderer's Paean.

:mad:

I recommend allowing us to cast it once, like Shield Oath, and perhaps having it soft disable (effect doesn't apply if in combat, but song stays active).

You might consider making it apply in combat, and having it be an added benefit to having a Bard in party, further differentiating it from Machinist. Just a thought.

BARDS UNITE!!! :)

A lot of bards asking for a lot of changes these days it would seem.

On the list of priorities for the job, this has to be at the bottom of my list. If they're not fixed properly soon we'll be swiftsonging our way out of raid spots.

Yeah, it's definitely minor. The complaint goes back to ARR, but I'm voicing it now as the dev team is active. We'll see where it goes.
