Here is my idea.
Instead of creating some weird HAM bar add-on, how about causing specials moves to increase your Battle Fatigue. The higher level the move, the more battle fatigue you incur. As your BF goes up, this negatively increases your skills: Speed goes down, Accuracy goes down, etc, until you reach a point were you are unable to do specials moves and your default attack is slow and inaccurate. This would more accuratly model what actually happens when you fight, and would give Entertainers a reason to play again (now that AFK macro'ing will be going away).
Also, make it were entertainers will be able to heal battle fatigue in camps. This will bring the entertainers out and about in the galaxy, and will cause them to be a must have for hunting parties. Also, with the AFK macro'ing going away, I feel that entertainers XP rewards for doing flourishs should increase. I'm a high level musician, and when I'm in a large group and have lots of people applauding me, I still only get 50 xp every 8 seconds. This makes it take days just to get to the next block, and its all AFK stuff. Perhaps entertainers should be able to focus on a certain person (or group), and heal their Battle Fatigue3x as fast. A skill like this coupled with my proposed plan with BF would give entertainers something to make money with.
This focused entertainment along with mind enhancing should be done in some sort of SMALL trade window so that entertainers don't get ripped off.
