Subject: Re: [eqbards] Re: emergency: please read regarding new bard songs


These are some of my ideas for songs:

1) Make bards even more useful in groups by giving them an evac with a 3
second casting time (normal time for bard songs). The effect of this evac
is random and the group could end up at any druid or wizard port in
Norrath. The other cost of the song would be that it uses 250-300 mana
(1.5-2 bubs) therefore if the bard evacs from Guk and ends up in Gtr Fay
they can't keep using the song to get back to S Ro.

2) Upgraded Charm song at level 39 for mobs level 37-49. We can charm a
giant, why can't we charm a Dar ghoul knight or a Sonic bat?

3) Invis to undead is another option (but what level can it be used?). Will
we need invis to undead in Kunark and is it worth using a song slot for it.

4) A mind wipe song would be great for bards, a flute based song that
mezzes and mind wipes the enemy.

5) A song that allows bards to EVADE combat (cross between feign death and
the rogue's evade skill). This song would be useful for group settings, if
the bard is taking a beating he simply sings this song and it's fools the
monster into thinking he is one of them for 5 seconds, in this time the
group has a chance to make the mob attack someone else (this would be good
for a bard as it uses our roguish abilities aswell as our acting/performing
side). This would not work in solo settings though as the monsters would
have no one else to attack.

Just a few ideas here aswell as some songs that have already been
discussed. I think the bind song would be cool but it's a bit too late now.
That song should of been introduced in the mid 20's.
