[quote="Vixn":33eqcqio]So, why do you say all blast compare with winds? I guess It's just a habbit. Cry is almost double effective as wind. And what about mass affect of cryes - you know, bard at 36 prime have analog of firestorm, and sure bards have better AC and more hps then mages. If bards want to hit single mob, they use their sing to lurn out mob from the room with other mobs and then kill.[/quote:33eqcqio]
You can't direct eye of the beholder to a specific mob - if the mob is in a room with other mobs, they'll all come out unless you get lucky. Cry is more effective than wind, but only with high charisma. If you aren't committing to a charisma mode, then it's less damage. The area aspect of it is good and bad, it just takes getting used to. There's no way to direct it only at 1 mob in a room, making it harder to use in certain areas. It tends to make bard a dangerous character to play. The basic philosophy of soloing is to clear the room and hope you're the last one standing.
