I posted this to another bard list:
Yes casters are a pain. I found that the best way to weather the intial
onslaught is to twist Guardian and Elemental Rythmns with a drum plus have
the Cleric/Shaman in the party cast Endure Magic on you. With this combo I
can boast my MR to 122 (I have lots of MR boasting items too). I have
weathered multiable force shocks/lightening blasts/etc.. with this combo.
Plus the rest of the party does better too . I love seeing the 'You have
resisted Force Shock' message, esp when is was casted by a red mob.

All the increased resistance means is that you have a better chance or
reducing the amount of damage from the caster, it is not immunity to magic.
Also all the Rythmn songs work much better with a drum.
