Bard - When should i use songs?

[svann]

Actually there's been a fair bit of misinformation here in regards to Foe Requiem, it doesn't buff your dps unless there is a summoner or Blm in the group. It's true that Brd has ele dps in the forms of Wind Bite, and Burning Arrow, but try this sometime, go attack a mob, record your burning arrow ticks, also record your Wind Bite hits/ticks...now repeat with Foe Requiem numbers stay the same, currently FR only actually effects elemental spells such as fire, thunder, blizzard.

I believe you, but I need to know how you see your tic damage. Its not showing for me afaict.

It doesn't show in the log, no. In order to get an accurate idea like Tenkiei is suggesting, apply one dot to a mob and then stop attacking. The damage that you see popping up on the mob as floating text is your dot tick.
