Kiles pretty much nailed it ^^ the re-roll should occur around 51-53 when Kiting putters out and you have to start grouping only to find you have no idea now to effectively play a bard in group situations and/or you find the xp pace abysmal or your roll boring beyond reprieve ^^

Alternatively, you could group most of your career, learn to play your class we'll in that setting and koine the half dozen beloved high level bards who know what they are doing *hugs* ^^

Joking aside, I do not have much more advice in the particulars of bardliness.

in all seriousness, i grouped until 10. I then started my kiting. I kited until 30 and now am only grouping until 35, and then will probably kite a bit. I LOVE playing bard in groups, the experience is indeed garbage in comparison but it is so fun playing bard. I love how technical it is and until i played one in a group i didn't realize how difficult it actually was to do correctly. I wish more people wanted us in groups, as I think they add so much to a group.

I personally am rather dedicated to becoming a well known group bard that can fill various rolls in a group.... but I am not going to pass up off hours AoE kiting for multiple levels in an hour. Taking a break right now to try and do all of my lambent armor quests and become a good CC'r and puller.

Right on ^^ that wasn't directed at you, I was just expanding on your post ^^

Zons,

Just follow Kile's example, remain true to the social nature of your inner bard and do not forsake, but 'ware the path of least resistance least it consume you!
