The north wing of Dragonhorn Keep. It's a random drop off of trash.
And no, not soloable. It's a tier 4 raid zone, so usually you'd need a raid force of appropriate strength.
I'm not sure about channeling focus, though I would bet it does affect songs.
However, expertise does definitely stop fizzles and spell casting fury causes dots and bellows to crit.
If you have /5 up, the song will continue even if bashed. Bashes can still interrupt songs being casted but won't do anything to the songs currently on mobs.
So I did the undead event with my shaman Jaren.
Did the turn in, killed all the various undead. Look around and there was no Spirit of Jirryik to hand over a Ornate Athame to me.
I petitioned and hung out for a couple of hours, but I guess I did this at the slow time of the day...
Well, it is a bard weapon with an instrument related mod on it. It doesn't seem hugely out of character for the thing to put up a song buff on a person, in comparison to a HOT or some random buff of a random weapon.
Not that I ever see it happening.
Agreed.
Bard shields are virtually nonexistant between our noobie days pre-dual wield...until the lower thaz shield.
I can't imagine bards having access to a shield with +atk is going to unbalance the class.
