I have tested the ability for Bard's to benefit from Rogue's, Ranger's and Wizard Synergy's and we do not. I haven't been able to confirm other classes. There is no way we can currently benefit from Wizard's line as a spell is required for it to proc and we sing songs unless a limit type code is introduced for our insult line. For Rogue's/Ranger's Synergy the only way to benefit from it is to illusion to a large race and use slam. I put this up for improvement under https://dgcissuetracker.com/browse/EQ-1371. Not sure if or when it will be looked into, just a note out there
Also bards own synergy is garbage, so there is that as well.. Wish rogue and ranger worked off selos kick... And bard one was worth casting nuke.

This is our only combat skill. We could really use.. something. Since bard songs are not spells, we don't meet the requirements for Sympathetic procs either: [33328] Sympathetic Force of Magic XIII 1: Cast: Force of Magic XIII on Spell Use (Base1=10) e.g. Cast Time 2s=2.5% 3s=3.3% 4s=5.0% 5s=6.7% 2: Limit Type: Detrimental 3: Limit Min Mana Cost: 10 4: Limit Min Level: 70 5: Limit Type: Exclude Combat Skills 6: Limit Effect: Current HP This excludes us from a variety of other things, like Chromatic Haze, Mana Flare procs, our own Arcane Melody procs, our own spell damage bonus procs, new synergies from other classes as mentioned, etc. Not sure if fixable or not. It seems like a minor complaint, but getting left out on other peoples' benefits (i.e. Chromatic Haze, Synergies) adds up over time. I don't really think when they made the RNG/ROG synergies, they intentionally excluded bards. It seems to happen on accident, but it would be cool if bards could be included as well.
It turns out enchanters do not benefit from their own synergy. Correction - their AE can use it, but no single target nuke enchanters have will trigger it.
