New here; Chanter or Bard...

[Arcadia's_Eve]

So its been a long time since I EQ'ed it up. Played on Quellious, then moved to Bristlebane where I remained. I came back to live EQ a few times for the progression servers, but that only lasted about 3 months. Glad P99 is here. Time for some fun grinding and nostalgia.

With that, who shall i be? Chanter or Bard...

[jarshale]

As a crack addict, I say enchanter

[HeallunRumblebelly]

If you don't have loads of bard experience, probably not a bard. I'm just so sick of bad bards :P Even a bad enchanter can still haste / clarity and do some mezzing...bad bards just seem to fumble about dying not accomplishing much. As a bard you may often be asked to pull as well, and if you don't know the zones, it can be brutal to pull them.

You as a chanter means more bard loot for me.

Bards are a much more demanding class. I personally think you have to be a bit of a masochist to constantly be twisting four songs. Go enchanter.

I love what a bard can do and every once in awhile I'll hop on mine and try to level it for a bit. I always quit because I can't imaging having to be hitting 2 buttons every 2 seconds.

Although constantly switching spellsets and spamming canni at this point doesn't seem all that far off from bard work....

If song twisting consists of more than 1 button per 3 seconds, you're doing it wrong.

I personally don't like using the /stop /cast macro. I found it easier to double tap. Same reason I don't use a macro to canni: personal preference.

And that's why you don't play your bard much. :P

I would say go bard,

Reason is endgame chanter spells on this server are soo outta whack on the mana cost to cast its unreal and most if not all 55-60 spells you just dont use cause of this reason.
