Foe requiem seems utterly useless even if there are classes that it increases the damage for. I can only keep it up for maybe a minute before Im out of MP. x_x Any tips on how/win to use it, if at all? Halp!

First of all, it doesn't lower your dps, and is the only song that doesn't do so (the others all lower dps by 20%).

Second of all, you use it with bard's voice to double the effect to 20%.

If you use it with a BLM's cooldowns, everything (I mean everything) will melt. A raidwide (esp if you're running an AoE heavy 2-3 BLMs for say, garuda hm) damage bonus of 20% for 1 minute every 2-3 minutes? Thats pretty good!

It -should- affect all elemental attacks, but I haven't tested.

I can confirm that it does increase the damage of Holy for White Mages.
