I try to load songs that are all of the same instrument variety and/or
singing. The best I have fouind of these is the percussion line.
Example: During grp fights w/ no melee'rs (or melee'rs and an enchanter) I
twist mansong and my 2 Chants (chants are drum-based) with my Nostrolo's
Tamborine equipped (every bard needs one!). (Just got Elegy, so I'm still
experimenting with it)
Solo Kiting: Selo's and chants rotated (unless I can grab some SoW potions,
then I add Bellow to the mix)
Groups heavy with melee'rs: Manasong for casters plus Celerity and Hymn (or
possibly Chant of Battle) for melee'rs, grab my weapons and jump into the
fray :o)
