Biggest tips I can give are to get really good at playing a bard in a group. You’re one of the best pullers in the game! Use lull, Mezz to stagger mobs INC, snare, etc all to your advantage. Is there a 2 mob pull? Don’t lull and single, pull both and charm 1 on INC. You can realistically keep 4-5 mobs mezzed at once as CC as well. Always try and keep Cantana rolling and play songs to the strength of your group. Melee heavy groups require a certain 4 song mix. Caster groups require a different 4 song mix. Is the group lacking dps? There’s a mix for that. Is the group a grinder and just need an efficient puller? There’s a mix for that.
Timing and situational awareness with the songs you have at your disposal will make or break you as a good bard. Learn these things and more and people will ALWAYS love having you around.
