Hi! As a person who has never even reached cap, much less touched a bard how would I go about playing a bard?
Any helpful low level quests? I plan on going Human. Any gear I should go for? How would I go about making macros and the like?

I'm going to give you some advice that will cause most people on this forum to tear their hair out: Put your starting points into Strength. Do it not for the melee damage boost (Bard melee is underrated, though), but for the ability to carry more than 2 pieces of loot while wearing plate, before you have access to expensive weight-reducing bags.
Most seasoned players will tell you to pump Stamina, but Bards have a mediocre Stamina-to-HP coefficient. Other will tell you to pump Dexterity or Charisma, but I'm not convinced that those stats do what they're supposed to do on this server. If they do, the effect wasn't pronounced enough for me to notice on my max-level Bard. Song fizzles and Lull/Mes/Charm resists were never something I considered to be a problem on my Bard, even when going full retard in melee gear. It's not like a Bard has to worry about using mana for recasts.
