Bard on raids

[Calibix]

If your strictly mana battery, it's worth noting that Cantana > Chorus x4, repeat, puts out the most mana regen. You can try to sneak in a 5th but depending on fizzles you don't really want to miss having Cantana not up for the next server tick.

And like Daldaen said, don't bother meleein unless your in range. Stay by your group members. And its honestly better to just instrument swap if your not epic anyways.
