ogre shaman on the bard diet?
 

Was just considering maybe going on the bard diet for a while on my ogre shaman, and I don't think the faction hits would really bother me, and maybe i could get my mayong mistmoore faction high enough to somehow make camping black dire easier for later? Is there any faction hits I should care about, or any good reason why I shouldn't kill some bards?

Consider using the 1 - 56 evil shaman guide. I used it on my shaman and found it to be really useful, even if you aren't playing a bunch. This is particularly true when you're high enough to kill treants/guards, where you're able to afk A lot.

Pretty sure you can never get your mistmoore faction above kos anyway. What level are you?

If you're doing a L25 bard, make it the one in Feerrot by the Innothule zoneline - she gives the best cash (better than Travis in Nektulos etc)

15 at this point

On a related note, I'm not sure that I'm fighting things the best way. I'm pulling with my slow (walking sleep), casting my poison dot (tainted breath) and then meleeing things to death. SHould I be doing anyting differently in the low to mid levels (IE 15-35)

What weapon you using? if its a crap ration ihander then, maybe there are other ways to do the fights.

Personally i think its good to work up your defense skill...
