duos that go well with bard
 

I was wondering about a few bard duos and their viability.

1. Bard / Druid

2. Bard / Enchanter

3. Bard / SK

4. Bard / Necro

Main concerns are

a. How fast and reliably they can kill stuff in dungeons together

b. Survivability in "oh shit" situations (if i'm deep in some dungeon can an enchanter really CC a group for long enough to get kills/make it out alive?)

c. How desired the non-bard classes i listed (dru, enc, sk, necro) are in high level dungeons and raids.

Have a good afternoon : D

QED

Nevermind. I can't really be constructive in this thread, seeing as I basically believe that bards should never be seen doing anything except 1) running fast, 2) AE XPing, or 3) singing resists for a god/dragon kill.

Bard/Cleric: Bard swarming with cleric = bard dies, cleric rezzes. Grouping fairly easy.


Bard/Wizard: Bard swarming with wizard = bard swarms, wizard helps nuke on occasion. Grouping somewhat hindered.

They can also powerlevel in astonishing fashion.

I can't speak for below 50 since I AE kited the whole way basically, but past 50, fear kiting with an epic rogue is impossible to beat.

Bard/Rogue fear kiting.

Oh man I know the feels. I inwardly groan every time I join a group and there's a bard already there. To this day I can name 3 bards who I am willing to group with because they understand how to play with an enchanter.

Should bard mezz really supersede enc mezz?

As in, is it classic? I don't really know -- I am new to playing ENC as of The Sleeper progression server.

I do know this is what happens.

Tomtee tells the group, 'Mezzing < a froglok krup shaman > !! Don't hit!
'Your spell did not take hold'

a froglok krup shaman hits YOU for 121 points of melee damage!
