after i kill my target i play speed song for go away from fight spot for evade some adders or same realm chars of my victim.
The speed don't come istant....but need around 10 seconds to left combat and get speed buff pulsing, but the song is already up on my concentration panel. This is what i have do last year.

From around 2 days, i can't play my speed song after kill, server say me: you can't cast ...blablabla....combat....3....2....1... seconds.

This modify really don't change much my play style (read orange) i can't run cause combat delay...

but i hate to switch my instruments and can't play song!

Obliviously this problem is not on single mezz song (flaute), this mean no mezz in cambat = delete Y E S.

My question is: why set up speed song as a mage spell and mezz song no?

My personal opinion is: the minstrel is not real a caster, the unique true spell who he have (he can't move when cast) is aoe mezz, the others are simply istants or songs....
why fix minstrel songs as spells?
Is it for affects bards who switch end song and speed song during fight?
But i'm a minstrel, and minstrel spec as mine, is a stealther class, in theory i can play solo, that's right? Bard is a group class.
Why Skald don't have the same (read purple) when they switch speed song?? Is not sufficient his advantage that he don't need instruments for his songs? Do the rules about singers chars must affects all classes same way or not? And if not, why pls? Can you try to explain me pls?

I hope i have success on trying explain my doubt.
Thank you for yours answers.

If I understood you correctly this is definitely a very serious bug, songs never worked like spells.

It's not just minstrels spell that are working like that at the moment.
All spell *In combat* have been changed I think, for example when i hit someone in melee i cannot cast a spell until 3seconds later (regardless if i have been hit).

Speed buffs are also taking longer to be reapplied after combat.

i don't talk about combat status cooldown for get pulse speed bonus...

i tanlk about, NEVER see, the message YOU CAN'T CAST ....BLA BLA BLA....3 2 1 ... YOU RECENT IN COMBAT

on minstrel songs

mins is EVER in combat

umm sorry for this thread
