Tzeetch - I'm not big on Macros - since they can't detect whether you missed
a not or not - and then you'll skip that song. On my hotkey I have Clarity
as 1, Most important song in 2, assist in 3, Second most important song in
4, third in 5 - my normal twist is 2,4,5. Depending on what I'm twisting -
I often will repeat 2 or 4 if I get a miss and only do 5 if 2 and 4 stick.

When I mem songs after dying I use the hotkey location - not the slot along
the top for these songs to ensure the right one goes into the right slot.

I DO use a macro on Mez with a 'say so the party knows my target - and
always put that song in it's certain spot (easy to remember a certain spot
for a single song).

Out of curiousity - you say "New Bard" and are level 51 - I'm curious - did
you take over the account from someone else - or are you being modest
calling yourself a new bard?

Hi Brilinnia,

Thanks for the welcome. My bard is in The Commune. It's nice being the
only bard in small guild but I'm still usually competing with other bards
in XA or TC/KIA raids.

Have to get the Kaesora coin for the tambourine. Never hunted their so
soloing in a one-way dungeon with see invis spiders (even though gtm)
doesn't sound pleasant.

Here's another discussion topic for the list. I switch out songs for every
group and switch their locations/hotkeys depending on what I'm focusing on
at the time. This makes macros a real pain to manage. Plus I frequently
twist Soothing with the lute on my pointer. I don't believe this is
possible with macros.

Any thoughts on how Bards should use macros? Matt's "Pet Assist" is
awesome and I'll be trying that out asap! Other suggestions? I guess
Hymns/Soothing would be easy, but I hate to give up Soothing.

Hail Tzeetch! I'm on Xegony too! Brilinnia is my bard's name, although
I've 
played this game so long I have 2 alternates: Brilinia (wiz) and
Brillinia 
(cleric). There's several Xegony bards on this list. Glad to have you!
What 
guild are you in, or are you? 
Equipment wise, sounds like you need some Hate and HS time. Definitely
do 
the tamborine quest, much easier than camping the sharkdrum! Also, try
to 
get into Vox/Nag raids before it's too late! 
I am a patchwork bard but here's what I use as of last night: 
Head: Hammerhead Helm 
Face: another WW drop here, forgot which one 
Neck: I forgot the exact name, one of those things off the WW dragons
that 
have awesome stats. 
Chest: Imbrued 
Arms: SS (had kylong til last weekend, Neero felt sorry for me!) 
Wrists: kylong and hero 
Hands: SS 
Waist: sash of the dragonborn 
Legs: kylong (but I put in an order for some out of WW last night!) 
 
Feet: Imbrued 
Primary: rare dagger off seb jugs (I'm at work, can't look at equip.) 
Secondary: martune rapier 
Range: Runed bone fork 
Sharkskin drum, gypsy lute, horn 
 
I hate Karnors. Seems to be full of idiots everytime I zone in and I need
to 
go camp the warlord for the skull for the epic! Blah!
