might be a lot of class combos out there but it seems the majority are going for the same shit, either pet cuck builds or rng/rog/x for melting PoTime. it's wild that THJ is basically an arpg like PoE or Diablo.

unrelated, once i learned how OP bards were, I can't seem to pick any combo that doesn't include one. for the 3 people unaware, bard buff songs aren't played exactly.. you click it once and as long as you have it memmed it'll be a "permanent buff". this has an interesting reaction with Shield of Songs and Nillipuss March of the Wee, the rune/dmg absorb songs, by interesting I mean they never drop after taking damage so depending on how hard the mob hits you, you have 100% damage mitigation.

A popular AA farming spot is DN, even with ok gear and a the instrument mastery AA, you can get like 170ish in runes up, which means none of the spiders or goos do any damage to you at all.. even the higher level rats do like 5-20 damage per hit after mitigation. You can pull everything from the entrance down to the lava area in rats (well over 100 mobs i think) and just afk using the dot songs, come back in 5min with like 30AA's earned. wait 10min~ for respawns and rinse/repeat.

Some folks even use a class like bard (or paladin for undead) for leveling / AA grinding and then switching later to the class you'd like to play in endgame.

I can currently pull all of chardok and kill it in 10 minuets netting me 24AA (like sooo close to 25 /cry)

So I have decided to max my AA and then debate with myself about swapping classes later [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ya, I was playing retail during House of Thule era (I believe that was the name), and there was literally no reason to not run a free 2 play box bard account next to your main in auto-follow

The free accounts would have a tiny AA cap, and not be able to wear any of the in-era gear, but it wouldn’t matter that they die in one hit always

All that matters is turning on an “Aura” that would give huge %damage to spells or certain things, along with doing a /melody (I believe it was called) twist of like 4 songs on auto forever. Then drag the naked bard along, rezzing him whenever he strayed too close and got swiped by a mob lol

The only reason to not run one was if your computer couldn’t handle multiple instances of the game

How did Tunare herself go? I'd imagine no big deal!
