Here is what I am twisting at 24 when grouped:
During Melee:
Anthem de Arms
Guardian Rythyms
Largo Melodic Binding (if no enchanter is slow/mezing) or bruscoes
I then switch in Selo's Consonant Chain (snare) in place of 2 or 3 when the
mob starts to run.
After melee I run to the casters and start:
Manasong
If people are low on health I will twist in Hymn of Restoration, if they are
really low, I'll swap in my lute for added benefit.
If twisting manasong and Hymn, I let manasong pulse 2 times, then Hymn for
one, mana for 2, etc. Since Hymn is a healing DOT and mansong is not.
Ungrouped I sing the same except I sing Jonthans instead of Largo.
Notebender
Bard of the 24th song
