Simple bard question with simple answer!

[Raldo]

I apply Battle Voice after singing the song, since I don't want to waste a portion of the 30seconds singing the song itself. That said, I've never run any tests, so I don't actually know how it works, but this way made the most sense to me. Should be easy enough to test yourself though. Pop sprint to blow your TP, and run tests with the TP song.

Well, that's the thing. Battle voice doesn't affect the bard themself, just their allies. (Most of our song and song related skills are incredibly buggy - like foe requiem increases damage dealt by unaspected damage, not elemental damage, and flame arrow/windbite count as physical)

Any proofs on this?

Also tested myself by casting MP song and timing how long it took for me to run out of MP with and without battle voice activated. You'd expect it to take longer with battle voice due to the superior MP regeneration for 30 seconds of the song; thats actually what triggered me to create the thread and ask, because I wasn't sure if I was using battle voice properly.
