A needed fix: Minstrels dropping ballads prematurely

[Zarwise]

Something I've noticed on my minstrel, along with every other person I know who plays a minstrel, is that we tend to drop ballads too quickly, sometimes even right after Cry of the Chorus. We also lose them prematurely at certain points, especially in big battles. Is this a known bug? Is this in the process (or on the list, at least) of being fixed?

Thanks!

Lets say you kill an enemy with 3 ballads on and leave combat. There will be a 9 second countdown before the ballads drop.
If you use cry of the chorus while this countdown is on you won't refresh the ballads : D

Basically just wait for the ballads to drop and then use it. As for BBs you need to be in combat if you want to maintain them *shrug*.

This basically.
It's just unlucky timing but this is the answer :3.

The 9 second out of combat timer should reset whenever cry of the chorus is used, it makes no sense that it drops off in 2 seconds if you have been out of combat for 7 seconds, but you get the full 9 seconds if you have been out of combat for hours.

They should show the out of combat timer if they really intend players to mico manage ballads/cry of the chorus like that.
