After reading much discussion on the perceived look that bard's should
have from a roleplaying stand point I am now inclined to begin wielding a
Dragoon Dirk and a Combine Rapier[thanks John =)]. I spent the greater
part of yesterday wandering, and hunting in and around Crushbone. Or more
specifically hunting down such fiends as Crush and DVinn. Suffice my
guild spent the day slying both Crush and DVinn and the occaisional spawn
of the Warlord.

After spending the day there with my group consisting of a level 19
cleric, level 17 cleric, level 21 wiz and 19 ranger, I can honestly say
that the jig definitely helps with mana regeneration. However the one
thing we applied yesterday was the wonderful notion of who gets the kill.
I honestly believe that there is a major flaw with the way loot/exp
is awarded to groups. While I was camped in the tower it never failed to
amaze how the looting rights were assigned. Many times the party I was in
was able to ensure that we got the kill by strictly planning for our wiz
to nuke only twice. It did not matter what anyone else did, only that the
wiz nuked twice. That way he was about to do more damage than anyone
person who attacked it. This point was driven home when we had a level 24
druid camping steal killing from my group (after I asked her to share the
spawns). She would only cast three spells to steal kill. Now my group in
total would have been ablet to do 600 damage in total(she did about 300
damage in total), yet she still got the kill from standing on the window
sill. Does this seem wrong to anyone?

BTW the funniest thing that ever happened that day was the moment when I
bellowed DVinn out the window. It was incredibly funny to hear the shout
that cam afterwards. "Some high levels are training DVinn out of the
castle", and all the while we were waiting for him to return.
