Bard Chanting, - Finish those levels. :)

[Path0gen]

Hi all,

Looking for any good recommendations for a Bard Chanting Camp (charm, dot dot, etc). I've been doing Geos, and Suits in WL but could use a change of scenery or more of a challenge. This is around 55+.

I did some running around in WW, but was unsure how much trouble I would get into there. PoM doesn't seem like an option for me, due to getting there.

Thanks!

Dragon necropolis is your next stop. Kite spiders any way you want. AOE is the way to go though. It was pretty fun learning the zone. Just avoid the traps. you'll need sow pots or jboots since they run faster than strafe running. this zone will take u 55-60

Ive also seen bards kite CoM / KC / Velks as well 55+

Ahh thanks. I did try the DN spiders, their hitbox was a little wonkey tonkey, so I have to get used to that risk/reward. Problem is if you die, how do you get back? :)

What is the camp in Velks? That place is a little mazey for me, and I tried charm/chanting the spiders but their pathing got super weird so I gave up on it.

KC, exp seems low at this point, but I could see that... however people will get mad i'm sure.

Thanks!

Bind in skyshrine. Use faction song to get through sg assuming you haven't taken any faction hits there

[jshiff]

For velks I think u need a lute of the howler. Then u just werewolf form and faction song to not be kos. Then just start a train at the top and kite it down below. I honestly wouldn't bother with either one. I'd just stick to DN.

[Path0gen]

Yeah, still saving up for a good lute / drum. The Velks aoe sounds pretty insane, lol. I could see it working though with how the pathing is all silly and you just stand below the mobs and then run back up.

Can someone elaborate more on DN? How do you handle dragon constructs?
The best way is to zone out...

[RDawg816]

Maybe you have never been to dragon nec....

Oh, I'm aware how they work. I've zoned into them often. I've never seen anyone solo one, other than a torp shaman.

On my bard, if DN had constructs at entrance and no force to kill them.... Train them deep into DN and WC cap out, port back and resume. The constructs should stay wherever you left them.

I saw Hokushin solo one quite easily.

[Path0gen]

Yeah, that seems like the way to handle them.

However, if you do plan to do some Swarming and they're near the back, they will come and get you if you try to get all of the spiders.

Thanks for the tip to get through SG. I managed last night just fine to walk through that zone. Zone seems small, and I saw a bold druid soloing there :)

Did some killing of spiders one by one, EXP was... lets say trash.
Tried charm / chanting them. Also trash, they proc the phase blink on their target so having one as a pet was really annoying and they couldn't dps each other. Also note their MR appears to be substantial, you'll get a lot of unlucky resists for siren's call and snares/etc. Fire and frost dots land pretty fine though.

I guess i'm still just looking for somewhere better than the 6/4 camp in WL, which I can hold both just fine. Eventually run OOM though, after a few hours.
