Which songs are the most used?

I remember reading somewhere about the most commonly used songs, but I can't seem to find the post again (may have been a different site).

Anway, I'm curious to see what the common song combos are for melee and mages.

Currently I'm only level 13, so I've been playing Minuet and Madrigal to the melee and Paeon right after the fight. I'm assuming that once I get Ballad, I'll be singing that and an etude to the mages.

My questions are, do you ever play any of the other songs to the melee like Mambo for evasion or Minne for defense? Does Minne and Protect stack? When I get both Ballads, do I end up just stacking the two on the mages?

From what I've seen so far, bards get a huge variety of songs, but only seem to use like 5 or 6 total which is kind of frustrating.

The only songs you are likely to, and should play, are Madrigal and Minuet because nothing else makes the significant difference they do. There are some exceptions however. I joined a friends party a few weeks back and he sang Madrigal and Minne because we were fighting "giant birds" that hit like a tonne of bricks. Obviously Ballad one and two for the Mages.

Minuet + Madrigal for fights and Paon for the warrior and Ballad for the mage after the fights. I also cast Paeon during the fight when I saw that an area attack just happened, it reduce the downtime. I try to alway cast Requiem on monster and when I see that the fighters are about to do a Renkei, I cast a Threnody, usually Fire, to create an elemental weakness, that way their chainskill is going to be stronger.

at Crawlers Nest;
Minuet + Madrigal on the Melee (with respective flutes)
Learned Etude (+4 INT) and Ballad on the Mages (with any instrument)
Paeon III and Ballad on everyone (with Harp)

During fights;
Magic Finale when the Crawler uses Defence Up (omg I love Finale)
Wind Threnody (For Aero II's massive ownage)
Foe Requiem III (for 3 hp per 1 second damage)

once I hit 39 I'll throw in a Battlefield Elegy to Slow the Monster

ballad I/II and + int song for mages I'd say.... its very important to boost mages int as all weakenling magic are base on int, not to mention more int = more damage when doing mb
