Wow, really great hit! That's Bard Legendary territory!
I added song of depression ... it slowed me down a bit, uses a bit more mana, but I have time and mana to spare. It's not like either make a difference in the prizes at the end.
It did make the champs easier. Maybe some really lucky runs, it will make it all faster, too! I think I have a crazy fast record run that I will never beat, though.

Honestly, I like the Depression almost more for the fact that it slows down my enemies (all of them on a hunt, or just one at a time in Duskruin) than I do for the warding benefit.
(Which, frankly, is really nice on its own... with some Lore, I'm at an additional -10TD for a total of -30, which is an extra +18hp to EVERY cast of Disrupt, which is an extra couple of crit ranks to get randomized. Never hurts.)
And I just hit an even faster one!
