How are Bards in the DPS department?

All wrong.

The only person that has posted any legitimate information in this thread is Giegue. Carry on though, they're all pretty funny.

the pbae songs are probably the best dps with the lute on but can't really do it in a group setting it will pull agro really quick, unless you want agro I guess.

I won't lie about the lvl 15 ae mez song or whatever level it is, it's saved my life quite a few times and the lives of others. I have locked down the entire west wing in HS more than once while group picked mobs off one by one. The lower level the mob the more unlikely it will get a resist, but I think that is pretty common for anyone.

When I use ae mez in south or east wing it's 50/50 at best as far as resists go. So you do definitely get resists the higher the mobs get and anything over lvl 55 won't land on it at all.

Someone said you can't twist while you're doing it, that's wrong.. you can 1 song twist in-between the mez's. I do when the amount of mobs isn't too crazy. I also melee instead of just standing there spamming the gem like a goonface. I wouldn't recommend doing it on a raid but in an xp group it's fun to challenge yourself. Then again, I'm pretty much the biggest badass that has ever clicked "log in" so my superior skills shouldn't come as that much of a surprise.

franswa, teach me how to p99 bard pls

fair enough, there is 1 type of mob that will sometimes con green. but falkun was making it sound like the whole zone is green to a lvl 60 which is NOT the way it is. There are plenty of DBs, especially if you are pulling from VS guardians, and 2 bards should NOT be able to lock everything in the zone like they have been.

anyway, your bard friend is not on, i'll add him to friends and see if i can catch him some time.

Funny how my thread exploded into a full-blown argument about something completely irrelevent to the original question.

Good god I hope that song doesn't mez lvl 55+ mobs, most enchanter mezzes don't work on 55+ mobs either. It would be even more broken than it is.

Fransho, if you see any tells from a guy named Dragonforce, that's my bard. Please give him advice on how to not suck. =)
