The War Chant of Sith benefits Druids greatly too, not just Fighters( or Warrior-type characters in general, inclusive of Paladins and Rangers).

Druids can change into the Water Elemental which has physical resistances to... Slashing Damage I believe. I am a bit fuzzy on the numbers now, but I remember that the resistance was not 100%, but close to 90%.

The War Chant of Sith adds 10% to this score, making the Water Elemental's Slashing Damage Resistance into Slashing Damage Immunity. This is especially cheesy on many areas.

The Druid also has the ability to summon the Shambling Mound, which has immunity to fire and 90% resistance to Crushing Damage. Throw in the War Chant of Sith, and it becomes immunity to fire AND Crushing Damage. This nullifies Fire Giants and Remorahazs(sp?).

The examples I have just mentioned are merely the tip of the iceberg of what you can do with a Druid/Bard tag-team.

Simplistically speaking, a Bard enhances the party's strength.
