I got bored trying to trophy kill anything on my bard at 60. On any mob that game mechanics allows to be 'solo-able', it doesn't take extraordinary skill ... just extraordinary time and much of it can be done in scrub level gear.
I have no interest in spending 20-45 minutes or more slowly killing something just to say "I did it!".

I don't think you are barding right Troxx...
Here is Tranix dead in 7min https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLNfDQ4cQ9w and many more sub 10min kills https://www.youtube.com/@melatuninth...oso3659/videos Summoning mobs are soloable by bards and you don't need selos to achieve greatness! Believe in yourself. | ||

I do similar things on my bard but am missing VP lute from silverwing for an easy +7 regen vs lute of howler. The fact that bards can regen ALOT makes them able to be a solo artist. Hymn of Restoration (13 base) (32.5 w/ vp lute) Niv's Melody of Preservation (9 base) (22.5 w/ vp lute) Fungi (15 worn) Ring 10 (10) That is 80hp regen a tick. (32.5+22.5+15+10 = 80). This turns your bards ~3k hp into much more when you are getting 800hp back a minute. Melatunin in these videos is getting 70 (no ring 10) If you add to this some BiS weapons that lifetap/rune.... you are talking about a beefy battle bard. (out-of-battle regen is even higher with singing steel BP clicks + songs.) No one is arguing bard is better soloer than enc/shm. Enc is easier (charm, haste pet, hope no break, kill thing). Enc also needs less gear but you die much more with crit lull fails/charm breaks/stun resists etc. But because enc is easier and you need less gear I'd say it's less impressive of a feat. (still cool but not as much). If bard charm was capped at 55 and not 51 there would be much less of a gap between enc/bard. Bard is more clicks for killing anything due to the nature of songs lasting 18 seconds. But you essentially know when a charm break will happen and can time re-charms nicely (once you get a feel for the class) | |||

If I want to solo something worthwhile, I’ve got a bag full of level 60s that can do it more efficiently.

it's cool to push classes to the limit instead of using an ench to do everything

My first character here was an enchanter. One thing I enjoyed about solo challenges on the bard is personally I had more more joy of discovery on my bard than on my enchanter.
On the enchanter I got the basics from Tecmos's videos and picked up some more tips watching streamers like Sugz or Nybras. If I didn't know a camp, there was often another enchanter at it that I could talk to or watch. If I didn't know a camp on the bard, instead of finding a bard there to help me I was more likely to have someone watch me figure it out, curious because they hadn't seen a bard to it. I think the amount of gear-check is about right for motivation if you enjoy the class. You can do some without much gear, and if you gear the bard it significantly helps. That said I'm also sure I'm not the only p99er that has had the thought "it looks like it would have been fun if I had built a monk and spent all my dkp there." | ||
