Bard DPS purely meleeing is about 100-120 depending on weapons/augs. Comparatively, a ranger might be around 350, monks/rogs may be around 370-400 depending. So if you're a bard on a fight and burn your Mana and add in 1-2 dot songs, you can easily get to 300-400 dps on a single fight in a raid. Obviously you can only do that …
DetailsFor a box bard, you can forgo the epic due to the hassle of its use. Stacking regens gives you of each regen you stack, vs. stacking overhaste's only gives you a fractional boost since both overhastes have the same boosts, just in slightly different amounts. The difference is barely parse-able at this point.
DetailsDeity. I know everyone says go agnostic to use the dark elf mask to open up more areas. But I am reading about a lot of deity specific gear and quests. I would probably go with Tunare, Karana or Erollisi Marr. I feel like going agnostic in a world where people use divine magic from deities and you can meet deities is d.
DetailsAE kiting was pretty disruptive from what I remember. Causing trains, and sometimes crashing the server if 150 mobs all died at once. Enchanters should be better than Bards for CC, but I don't see any good reason why there should be gigantic holes in a bard's mez range. Many classes' spells got consolidated for QOL reasons and I think …
DetailsAs you mentioned, the macro pause would need to be long enough to account for the entire melody set (so ~12 seconds), which is typically not the best idea. The syntax for something like that would be (I think, can't remember if /pause and /timer use the same time metrics): "/stopsong. /pause 7200,/melody 1 2 3 4.
Details2 hour respawn seems reasonable. In fact, that seems reasonable for every 1.5 mob across all classes. Especially with pick zones, anything longer is just an arbitrary bottleneck. I'm pretty surprised it's still hotly contested 5+ weeks in on Rizlona. By ~2 weeks on Aradune they were very easy to find.
Details" Soloing with a bard will probably make you uninstall EQ. A bard can reverse charm kill, but it's very slow going. A bard can dot kite too, but again, it's very slow going. Bards used to be able to solo well due to AE songs, but they got nerfed a long time ago. That's basically what you do as a bard though, that's where 90% of your power ...
Details1: Like another poster said, bring IVU potions but otherwise you should be fine getting around an your own. 2: Pre-fading memories bards are good pullers but can be outclassed by a good monk. Once you get fading memories, you become the best puller in the game until you run out of mana (see bold text below).

DetailsEssentially Bard aaa casts Alliance (announces in channel) while Bards' bbb, ccc and ddd all stop their current melody to activate a new melody that casts an insult, within 3-4 seconds you should have a fulmination and then Bard bbb immediately stops his melody to cast Alliance, while Bards' aaa, ccc and ddd all stop their melodies and activate ...
DetailsArcane Hymn + Dobens (no bst) Arcane Hymn + Cold Focus (bst in grp) In order to twist more than 4 all you need to do is retwist Aria, as it has a shorter duration than the other songs in your twist. Play around with it, no one bards twist is the one and only way to do it. Romance, Apr 6, 2014. #3.
DetailsFrenzied Burnout (AA) is 25% overhaste every 10 minutes and lasts 3:12 seconds so Bard 25% overhaste is effective on main pet for the 6:48 seconds in-between and possibly always on swarm pets. Tests were done in Shei Vintras group, best time with both group compositions was ~175 seconds ~400Mill-Total ~2.3Mill-DPS.
DetailsBard - Bard is a melee/caster dps the same as ranger/BL all of these hybrid class should be about the same DPS level. not really anything a bard does that is better than the other classes that warrants being 1/3 of their dps. if anything a bard does better than one you could say the other class has equally better things in some other area.
DetailsRanger has so much utility and dps options. One of the best pullers in the game. Can grab aggro easy from pet, so need to use all your aggro reducing stuff if you are using the big dot and DD spells. My ranger doesn't pew pew only. For me, the ranger is the best companion to a Mage. Belexes, Sep 12, 2020. #3.
DetailsI will keep practicing though.". Having played both a bard and a chanter the play style are very different. The Bard is to prevent the mobs from getting into camp and a chanter is to handle them once they are in camp. From the sound of the post you are trying to play them the same and for the most part it wont work.
DetailsThen the Bard needs only revert back to the first song played and rinse and repeat. Some of the most useful twists include playing a song to increase the attack speed of the Bard, reduce the attack speed of the enemy, and heal the Bards health simultaneously. Coupled with the AC (Armor Class) of plate armor, the Bard can be a formidable foe …
