Bad bards afk a lot with healing song on thinking that's cool/helpful. Don't be a bad bard [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Sadly there are more bad Bards than good ones. But, it is a HARD class to play. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Swish, I'm sorry but what do you mean by twist songs?

[Swish]

Sorry, twisting is playing multiple songs at once.... when your song starts it begins a countdown before it needs refreshing. If you don't refresh it it'll fade out.

In essence, as soon as you see the buff icon for the first song appear, start up on a second one, and again on a third one once that appears... after the 3rd one appears it's time to go back to casting the first song again before it fades.

Super pro bards can get a 4th song in but don't worry about that, 3 is plenty for leveling purposes.

Typically a heal song, a haste song and maybe a damage song early on when you have them [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] 1 > 2 > 3 > 1 > 2 > 3 > 1 > 2 > 3.... and on and on [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hence lazy bards like to afk with just healing song playing (if you don't cancel your song once it appears it'll keep playing until you do). A lot of groups don't like people who do that persistently so be an active bard [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So I melee attack, hit my first song, before first one ends, hit the second one, and so on. Thanks for the info, it'll take some getting used to.

Swish, you have no clue...raid or xp...a necro with a full mana bar or just feeding the cleric is retarded. You should never go below 30m, and never be above 60m or you are slacking as a necro... Lifetap Lifetap Lifetap for dps

I was always top dps parser on raid mobs in velious on Vulak because after my DoT's stuck i was tapping the entire time. This is what any good necro does, anyone who does otherwise is terrible at playing EQ.

There's no point in a arguing with swish about how to play... Pretty sure he doesn't even have a 60.
