Subject: Re: [eqbards] Clouding for group travel?


For group travel forget about it. The range is so small that even manually
following the bard is near impossible with lag (warping included)
especially with SoW. The only thing that it seems to be good for (IMHO) is
keeping the dungeon trash off the people who are meditating. And when you
are running around solo. It would be nice if Verant increased the range,
but I am sure we all know about Verant's priorities concerning bards.
