This isn't really my idea, but I am now a proponent of the idea.

The music/dance focus ability would be a great addition to the entertainer skill set.

Think about this...

No (or atleast far fewer) AFK entertainers - They would have to be at the keyboard to select new people to focus their healing on.

More tips -people will appreciate that a highly skilled musician is focusing their skill on them to heal their mind/fatigue.

The entertainers' public buildings (cantina, hotel, tavern, theater) already have a slow heal to them, having an entertainer there to listen to will boost that heal. But having your skill focus on a person, that person should heal even faster maybe half the time or so.

A system message similar to the medic's "so-and-so healed you for # such-and-such type of wounds" should be added as well either in conjuction with or withoutthe focus ability. This would serve to let people know just who is healing them, or if with out the focus ability atleast it will remind people that they are being healed.

Just thought I'd try and bring back this idea. Give it a thought, maybe add a little, preferably constructive, criticism.

This is good for the non-AFK macroer, but for those of us who just "jam" the songs it'd be too much hassle...just keeping up with tells and group chat can turn the intended 4 loops of no flourishes into five, or whatever the case.

I wouldn't have it affect the healing or BF fixing, but instead control the mind enhancement.

Here is what I think would work best.

Player A walks into the cantina with 300 BF and 100 mind wounds, /listen to musician and he is healed.. ok, the speed is so fast now as a master musician that /focus on that person really wouldn't make a difference....

But, if I did /ven (You know that useless effect we have?) it would buff their mind. So basically all they would have to do is add a mind buff effect to the /ven command.... I mean so when we blow a kiss to someone, which is what /ven really does, it would cost us action/mind power and buff their mind like a doctor can do other stats?

Way too much of a pain for people that just want to hang out, play music and chat. I don't care about the AFKers nearly enough to want to click on everybody that needs healing.

Simple Solution: When you go AFK (no matter how that is triggered) your queue is cleared (including any paused macro/alias commands) and your character stops whatever he/she is doing.

There would be no more AFK entertainers, samplers (miners), or campers (scouts)... there would be AFK characters, but they wouldn't be doing anything except standing still.

What's wrong with this solution?
