How fast does it take to level a bard to 60?

AE kiting (and real swarm kiting utilizing charm) is fun, but don't forget to practice the skills that actually make bards the OP class they are. I think targeting is harder on green so you'll need to get good with fewer tools. Weapon/instrument swapping, having a complete understanding of each song and when to use it, knowing when to lull/charm/mez, etc. Bluebies don't often think of resists outside of raids, but when up against caster NPCs bards can stack resists high af... or try to interrupt with Brusco's/mez.

You should be able to keep 2-3 NPCs locked down with mez and still manage a few weapon swings on the unmezzed target.

There's so much a bard can do it sorta hurts my soul to see people associate the class mostly with AE kiting lol.
