Sionachie's Crescendo

Sionachie's Crescendo is a PoP ability AA that increases the range of group songs with 3 levels and it cannot be started until you have completed Extended Notes 3 which is an AA that increases the range of all songs.

Why is it that the base version of the AA increases the range of all songs but the next step of the AA is limited to only group songs?

My suggestion is that Sionachie's Crescendo be changed to affect all songs as follows.

Perhaps make the first level of this AA only affect songs level 45 and under, then the second step affects songs 55 and under, and finally the last step of this AA would affect all songs.

As it stands now, there really isn't any real reason to get this AA until you've done pretty much everything else pertaining to the bard class, dps, and defense. There are very few occasions where your group is out of range of your songs to begin with and there are also very few situations where a group only song is used in a raid situation.

It just seems odd that being a Bard, an AA that affects songs ends up being unnecessary.

I don't see this as overpowering seeing that it would require you to get all 3 levels of this AA to affect raid level songs and I'm not saying it should add some ungodly amount of range, but it would be nice to make the next step of this AA as desirable as the first, the same way that the offensive and defensive AA's increase such as:

Finishing Blow -> Coup de Grace
Combat Fury -> Fury of the Ages
Combat Ferocity -> Unerring Precision
Combat Agility -> Lightning Reflexes

and a few others that also step up without losing anything from the previous step of the AA

This would make the AA line pointless except for the last level, exactly like Mind of the Arcane. The only difference being the problem can be avoided in this AA by just not having the level restrictions.

Have it be just a modest boost that is scaled based on the AA level
 
I made this suggestion about a month ago and did not get a response, but hopefully the devs read it over and talked about it. I am closing in on 500 aa and only have 1 rank of this AA just because I was playing a cure song one day and wanted to make sure I had the MT in range. I say make it affect the range on all songs like Extended Notes, but make the % increase much less per ranking (perhaps 5% per level as Extended Notes is 25% when completed).

The only reason for me to get this AA at this point would be to kill people's pets with invis song at further range.

Either way both your and my suggestion would make this AA far more desirable than it currently is
 
I really do not think increasing the ranges on raid wide songs would be too game-breaking, and would actually give some use to this "should be" raid AA.
