Yeah bards are super weak.

It's not like they can solo entire HS wings or anything https://www.twitch.tv/sugz4/video/1155754690

They also can't sneak down into dungeons and solo their own loots https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV5_Wd8asg8

Afkers for surrrrrre

Get eyeball helm - https://wiki.project1999.com/Singing_Steel_Helm
Non stop train pulls
Use AOE slow/snare, charm, mez if needed, mana song too I guess.
Make sure to make passive aggressive comments from time to time about your groups DPS “too bad we don’t have better dps, we could really take advantage of all this xp…” and gear.

I wish I knew how to play a Bard but they seem so complicated for some reason.

Maybe I should just dive head first into one.

bard class has the most disparity between absolute shit players and good ones imo

I found this thread from Google (https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...=324585&page=2) where people are saying you should never use a weapon over instruments in a group because the dps from chants is so much better

yet not a single person pointed out that if you're twisting your 3 chants, you're not twisting 3 group buffs, which means 4 songs + melee dps can be better than 3 chants and 1 song for your group

most bards, even lvl60 bards, are absolute shit at the group game and knowing how to use their kit

While swarm kiting sounds fun and tempting, aside from making instant enemies - this is the main reason why I would never swarm kite on a Bard.

swarming is fun but I agree unless you're racing to max a bard to 60 the reward of grouping it (at the very least, grouping for a level for two every 5-10 levels if you still are swarming) can do so much for improving group play

the number of groups i've had my bard in where I got compliments and all I was doing was "basic bard stuff" like twisting more than 1 song and mezzing, it really shows what the average bard is doing [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm sure most people are aware, but the vast majority of bards are god-awful, and should not be playing the class.
