I don't play BRD much so excuse me if I'm wrong but, is casting Paeon for yourself really viable? I totally understand casting it for other party members but when you cast it for yourself in AoE situations so you can do more damage by AoEing more by...lowering your damage, isn't that a bit counterproductive?

and about asking DF people to do their job. Man, I really just don't care anymore. You either get ignored or get snapped at most of the time and start an argument you'd rather avoid altogether by a player who takes personal offense to a simple question, and I'd rather get on with my day than spark an argument with someone inside a dungeon.
