Bard Dots Stacking
60 with epic, if I want to keep lute of howler on so String with Epic, what Dots are best to use that stack? Thinking I could keep those in a rotation if fear kiting and while meleing? Also any quick tip to say what stacks or does not (any website that has this listed)? Like do all single target stack but not PBAOE and Single?

The only stacking concern I know of here is the 48 dot doesn't stack with the 54 snare, so use a single target snare for the fear kite. You can fit 3x dots + snare + fear. Would do 59/48 and then for the third I think an epic modded Tuyens will be better than a lute modded chords of dissonance. Every few cycles skip the third dot and use the 60 slow+dot instead. | |||

I am curious how good the dps would be in a group from a bard quad dotting + melee
Probably bad but it'd be fun | ||

i think a well played bard and necro would make for a sick duo...obviously not enchanter level but still very capable | |||

Arguably the bard is likely to be further from that potential for more of its lifespan -- no 41% haste for the bard from isle 5 in sky, I think the bard has a bigger gap between a cheapo tov weapon and a top weapon (e.g. https://wiki.project1999.com/Katana_of_Pain vs https://wiki.project1999.com/Nature%27s_Melody), prime hand drum and epic are expensive. At least the prime hand lute is more affordable, but of the two strong lute dots one doesn't stack with shaman/enchanter slow and the other is a level 59 song. The 60 bard dot is basically a 5-10 dps bump for being level 60. Quote:

Well charming is charming so not really all that interesting
I was speaking more specifically to like , shaman + bard root rotting or something or even just regular xp groups using the bard for dps. Since their dots are mana free and short they probably aren't as troll as necros who cast Pyro on mobs that die in 20 seconds | ||

But shaman+bard rot I think would work similar to that necro strat; root a few on top of eachother, shaman epic, bard ae dot, once it's all rooted if the bard has mana they mix in charm on whichever rooted mob has the highest hp. | |||

Not sure why you would want to equip a lute if you're planning on Dotting, most of the dots are drum. It was mentioned prime hand drum is expensive, but you can put the epic in primary hand and use a secondary drum (selo's drum or walrus drum much more attainable and almost as good as DoTB).
Equip drum use Fufils and the chants of flame and frost for top dot dps. If you're good at twisting (better be if you're a 60 epic bard) then you can twist all 3 dots plus fear and snare (5 twist) without anything falling off. With that said it would have to be a fairly unique encounter to employ this strategy. Not many things that you would want to fear kite at lvl 60 with an epic bard. | ||
