I always double tapped, and while I aimed to have 4 songs up, between skips and such 3 were most often ended up being the norm for me. What is crazy, is that I always remember tab targeting. No idea why! I remember CCing in KC with mad pulls and having no problems. But that was Kunark. But who knows maybe I just moved around to mez the next target before and after Kunark. I started in 99, and stopped playing right around when AAs came out.

Along with double tapping, I remember swapping instruments sometimes, like lute for heal song when we were low on heals with melee weapons. I do not recall hotbars being limiting. Also I know at that time there were no melody macros, it was all by hand. I remember always having either an instrument or a weapon on my cursor, and swapping out as needed or swapping drum with lute etc. The one thing I didn't like, is people would get genuinely mad with me for not returning tells and chatting. I would respond with a quick "twisting!" But wow, how they would really get offended by this! lol

I would have loved to play a bard here, but I loathe pulling (dungeons and castles), and it seems here bards are pullers. I just have no sense of direction, and maybe in beastly groups that would be optimal bringing 500 mobs as I played whackamole with turns and tunnels finding my way back, but more often may be definitive death haha.
