Dear All Bards,

[Caoihmin]

If you have documentation stating that Foe's affects Magic dmg done by those outside of your party, by all means let me know.

Following that assumption, Ballad should boost MP of all healer's in a 24 man raid, boost the TP of all melee DPS/tanks in a 24 man raid, as long as you are in adequate proximity to them.

This should apply to hunts as well. 50+ players all benefit from the one Bard singing his little heart out. Huzzah!

Foe doesn't affect your party, if affects the mob. This is why everyone in the alliance gets the benefit.

Incorrect on your assumption, actually.



Foe's Requiem
Reduces all enemy elemental resistance by 10%. MP is drained while singing. Effect is lost if targets move out of hearing distance, and ends upon reuse. Cannot be used with other songs.

Army's Paeon
Refreshes TP of all nearby party members while lowering own damage dealt by 20%. MP is drained while singing. Refresh effect is lost if party members move out of hearing distance, and ends upon reuse. Cannot be used with other songs.

It's the affected targets that makes the difference. It doesn't say it's lowering Enemey Elemental Resistance 'For your party', it just outright lowers the resistance. This is why when 2 bards sing Requiem, you don't see the same debuff multiple times on the same mob - it only appears once, as it's for both bards (Doesn't matter if you're in their party, either.)

Meanwhile, as you said, in a hunt, you're only affecting your party members. Because, again, party members. Not 'All those in range.'


Second Edit-In:
Another thing you can take note of, is when your enemy has the debuff on them, it merely states "All Magic Resistances are reduced." This is, again, affecting your enemy, not 'for your party.'
