Bards are groupers, raiders, and plvlers...not solo artists.

You indeed need solid gear on a bard to do a lot of this stuff safely. Melatunin isn't full BiS though. No ring 10. That would make it even easier.
I do similar things on my bard but am missing VP lute from silverwing for an easy +7 regen vs lute of howler.
The fact that bards can regen ALOT makes them able to be a solo artist.
Hymn of Restoration (13 base) (32.5 w/ vp lute)
Niv's Melody of Preservation (9 base) (22.5 w/ vp lute)
Fungi (15 worn)
Ring 10 (10)
That is 80hp regen a tick. (32.5+22.5+15+10 = 80). This turns your bards ~3k hp into much more when you are getting 800hp back a minute.
Melatunin in these videos is getting 70 (no ring 10)
If you add to this some BiS weapons that lifetap/rune.... you are talking about a beefy battle bard.
(out-of-battle regen is even higher with singing steel BP clicks + songs.)
No one is arguing bard is better soloer than enc/shm. Enc is easier (charm, haste pet, hope no break, kill thing). Enc also needs less gear but you die much more with crit lull fails/charm breaks/stun resists etc. But because enc is easier and you need less gear I'd say it's less impressive of a feat. (still cool but not as much). If bard charm was capped at 55 and not 51 there would be much less of a gap between enc/bard.
Bard is more clicks for killing anything due to the nature of songs lasting 18 seconds. But you essentially know when a charm break will happen and can time re-charms nicely (once you get a feel for the class)
