It was brought to my attention by Guitarmacist on discord that BRD songs are receiving a buff when a fishing rod is equipped. He provided his testing on his Elvaan BLM30/BRD15 (/BRD skills: capped 44 Singing, capped 44 String, and uncapped 39 Wind):
On /BRD, only Singing skill should be considered for song potency. Fishing rods appear to be including String and/or Wind instrument in the potency calculation. Army's Paeon restores the expected amount (2HP/tick) with Halcyon rod equipped. Therefore it is assumed to not be a "+Song" tier.
