More Bard Questions

[Goseals6]

Question related to twisting.

1) Can you set up a loop macro for group songs or do you have to manually twist gems on hotkeys

2) After being spoiled with /melody on live is/are there anything like this in game currently or in the works? Yes I'm a lazy bard :P

3) Are bards at the point right now pre-PBAOE nerf where they can swarm kite without having to charm/swarm?

that's all for now. I'm anxious to get back into the mass chaos that is the Bard lol

4) I scrounged up enough money to buy a hand drum only to find out I can't even use it (Secondary only) Do I need to wait until lvl 17 for DW or whats the store on using instruments??
