Playing a bard without kiting.

[Loke]

Yea, it really depended on how lazy the shaman wanted to be. In an ideal situation I mostly just focused on hp/mana regen, atk buffs, charm when doubles, emergency CC on bigger pulls until the shm could root/slow, aggro control in the rare event AE slow was used, and assisting with pulls. It was also sped things up because me and the monk could share tanking/pulling duties. When your puller and your tank are the same person, it can get tricky to chain mobs into camp as quickly as you can with someone who can set up the pull while the tank is still fighting. I actually used to do most of the pulling because lull was often quicker than FD/sneak, and with mez I could park and position mobs so that the shaman could root and debuff before the previous mob had been killed. Basically the monk just had to sit in camp and burn through the mobs I queued up for him so we had no downtime due to waiting on pulls.

It was always different though depending on who I was playing with. When I play my bard I usually let other players set the tone for how the group operates, and then just adapt what I'm doing to best compliment what they're doing. It doesn't always result in the most efficient group, but I always felt like I made more friends and had more fun adapting to others than expecting them to adapt to me.
