Hello recently came back for the fresh start and messing around with different characters.
I see a few people debating in multiple threads about whether a bard should melee or go instrumental during group combat. Can't say ive ever seen a bard do this.
I'm still a nub but i can tell my melee is pretty damn worthless already, once i get my instruments should i pretty much just stick with that or am i going to be twisting and switching out instruments between melee swings for specific songs and tab targeting to keep mez up?
Thanks folks.
