Bards solo. What is possible?

[Vivitron]

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."

I feel like a geared sk with willsapper could do circles around bard solo with far less apm. Cool vid tho. Troll sk with epic proc/fungi/ring 10 is like 87/tick as well.

yes because FD

just like blur for enc...having no "oh shit" button cuts any class off at the knees

I wonder what a sk can kill that a bard can't. I do think sk can face tank some beefier stuff. Maybe most relevant in chardok, can a bard solo something like kennelmaster or overseer, I think an sk can?

I finally got Overseer Dal`guur solo on my bard. Toe to toe melee, self buffed, no worts. Not yet sure whether I have him on farm or had good luck, but I want a halfling mask for an alt so I may find out.

I think a few others in the area, including Kennelmaster, are basically the same difficulty, so I'll have to try them as well. Maybe a4 mobs will be in toe to toe range for me now too (except 22)? I'll try to get up there soon and see. I think they're the same level, higher hp, but lower max hit than Overseer.

That’s amazing. What is your setup and approach?

I have about 3500ish self buffed hp and 1340ish displayed ac now. Still some weak slots but also a fair amount of bis. My relevant self buffs for this are Ring 10, blazing vambraces, and Dain hammer. No angry ring or tuna belt yet (although tuna doesn't stack with hammer afaik, but would probably swap it in mid fight).

I pre-procced my primal and vyemm whip on eyes, then started the fight with tuna dagger+epic. Once I got a haste proc I swapped to vyemm whip + essence mace. I mostly sung denon's bereavement, 2x tuyens, and regen, keeping angstlich's assonance on for the slow.

I tried proccing my orbs of tishan on the placeholders because I have struggled to land slow sometimes when duoing these mobs, but I think that was costing me more than I gained and didn't use them on the Overseer.

It’s always nice seeing people who love their class pushing it. I don’t think most would argue a bard is the most optimal class for something like this. But skill wise I don’t think it’s any less impressive than a meta solo class killing something equally as difficult for them.

There's a video of an SK soloing 22.
I think chardok stuff would be hard to bard,no room to kite and mostly too high level to mez + heal
