    Bard's Mage's Ballad has nothing to do with mages anymore. It doesn't restore or drain MP, do anything to caster or healer damage or output, and doesn't even decrease magic vulnerability when used with Troubadour. Wanderers Minuet does that instead. Honestly, they kept the old name just so they wouldn't have to come up with a new one.

    Personally, I think they ought to just swap the Troubadour effects so Mage's Ballad gives the 10% magic vulnerability decrease. That way, it would least have something to do with magic...

    This. BRD's songs are messed up!

    Another one is Contagion, it didn't have perfect sense before but now that it applies magic vulnerability it's even worse. If they want to keep the name they could swap it with Bane:

    Contagion: the spreading of disease by close contact.

    Bane: a cause of great distress or annoyance.
