Because as a Bard I rarely solo. I sing the following: (level 34 bard on Veeshan, my songs on my 50 bard on test are
drastically different)
As Melee Bard:
HoR, Anthem, Psalm of XXX
As anti-caster:
Elemental Rhythms, Purifying Rhythms, Anthem *with Drums equipped* (if he's
too high for me to affect with the below)
or
Volley-fire Pixie Strike at him while wielding two gnoll hide lariats
(almost 100% caster shutdown usually)
As Crowd control:
Pixie Strike, Charm, HoR
Solo Bard:
HoR, Warsong, Psalm of XXX
Those are my most frequent combinations but there are numerous others.
Remember folks: You're a bard, you have TONS of abilities, learn to use all of them, don't be a Bellow Bard (or variant thereof)
Lyrnia Jongleur - 34th Bard, Veeshan... 50th Bard, Test
PS: I Can sing a 4 song medly but it's entirely too much work
