This is what happens when Sha'ir Manteel has a hot steamy threesome with Bard's roundlet and a Raven Beret while sticking a Traversiere in places it shouldn't be.
The set bonus for brd gear is good :O so yes this is worth wearing :P last night i did test with the feet and the legs +2 and i was getting +1 attribute with each +2 gear i had on also was gaining attk and def among other things so yes before you bash the +2 the bonus from the set is awesome <3
@Oraq CHR has no effect on buffs. like all -Song spell cast equipment you want to macro in this before the song, then before it finishes swap in equipment with skill+ that way you get the benefit of both. if you're buffing in only this then I'm sorry you're a fail Bard. Demon Helm+1 is like 2k now so go grab one of those. :)
