Theory craft: Best 4 songs to twist at 51 as a melee solo twink bard?

[Vivitron]

When you're doing a 4 song rotation I think it can make sense to alternate the dot(s) each time through the rotation, too. Like snare, haste, regen, cessation, then snare, haste, regen, frost, repeat.

The dots last 3 ticks, but they do damage on tick 0 so if they wear off for less than 6 seconds you don't lose any damage. Contrast to the slows which only last two ticks and lose effect when they wear off.

Sometimes I omit cessation because the ae snare is my preferred slow and they don't stack. Cessation claims to slow but it seems to be a minor haste instead; I assume that part of it has no effect when another slow is on the mob.

yeah you're right, snare is probably overall better, especially indoors, and probably honestly more dps from keeping you meleeing longer with raid weapons. I usually use the 59 pbae song and didnt have to consider trading damage for snare/slow anymore, so in your case 51 you can just use fufils slightly lower damage.

if you're soloing, at some point you'll likely have to heal/regen up, so you can transition into fear kiting or chant kiting, fearing is great whenever you can because dots do full damage and you can keep meleeomg so that's where that suggestion was coming from, but honestly the difference between dot damage is very little.
