Sword Symphony, a weak DD and AOE Fear effect and PsychoSymphony, a weak DD and AOE speed debuff (attack, movement and casting).
We get no additional attack skills that aren't lame attempts at adding some kind of "music" name to something that isn't a song, no.
Do note that Sword Symphony ONLY fears mobs - not players (which i think should maybe be changed with the changes to the other classes fear abilitys). But dont put much trust into it, the fear lands for me maybe 20% and its random so may fear the mob youve weakened and not the one thats killing your party. If you want offensive skills - augment til you get one or find good friends hit 75 and sub :)
IMO SwS are useless. Mine was a waste of time..to my expirience in late C4 early C5.. who the hell wants someone to leech your xp for some def bonuses that in most cases don't apply to the mobs your killing..and unless you wanna waste all your mp with hate..gonna keep losing aggro as a partial tank..making a SwS in 70% of the cases useless..except maybe they're crit dance..but still...
Hardly useless.. but I see your point, for normal PvE they don't add much damage compared to a BD. Hunter song is really nice, especially archers and daggers just loooove it! The best gains from an SWS is in harder areas where the defensive songs make it a bit easier and can be the difference between rest and no rest for the healer(s).
