Bard BUG on BATTLE VOICE

[JoeBacon]

Yep! Sure have! And it irritates the heck out of me!

For your example, it's because Bard's songs don't affect the bard singing it, beyond the repertoire bonus. Battle Voice only affects those with the caster's song buff. Take a look in your upper-left corner -you can clearly see that your party member has the song buff and battle voice, but you have neither, only straight shot. Unfortunately, this means Troubadour works the same way -since you won't have the song buff, you won't get the benefit yourself.

EDIT: I only got Bard after SB, so I don't know if this 'not getting own song buff' is a departure from how it was pre-SB, or if it's always been like that. Sorry. ^^;;
