Ya gotta remember the other bards might not be at the same lev u r. If you
got charm and mez - u r not in the lookout room <g> you're a couple levels
deeper! I know I get lots of good advice from a fellow bard but it usually
includes using a couple songs that I don't get for a couple more levels -
careful readers saw one today - I asked of which 2 songs is better at
slowing attack speeds and I got told that 2 other songs are better - well
that's all fine and dandy but I don't got them songs (not even pre-bought
cuz I know what bad luck that brings ya <g>).
So - ya we bellow - but that might be the best we got? And there maybe a
couple "surge of strength..." and "protected by magical aura..." that u
don't see (cuz u r not grouped with them) between the bellows u do see.
BTW - I got pretty brave now - in HighKeep I'll use Denon's and Lullaby --
AE or Z-axis seem to be no problems. Well the other rooms are well camped
usually but I don't see any hits or misses on stuff from the other rooms.
Only potential problems is some gobbie train goes up and Guards come down
chasing it back down - saw Captn Boesic ks'ing on the ramp the other day -
offered to train him out for 20pp but got no takers :-) Or if u run up
chasin some gobbie and forget and leave Denons on.
Hehe AE and Z axis are not just deadly indoors.........there I was...pullin
for my group off the aviak villiage. So I run in to nab something and it
musta been right after a fight - we were all SoW'd (which I normally rant
about but was a good thing this time) and I musta forgot and left Denons on
- so I make a fast lap around the trees and don't see nutthin - then hmm a
harrier at the ramp - bellow! /g inc harrier run back the party - turn
around and .... 6 birties including Mr Avo!!! "Nice pull Sylly!" LOADING,
PLEASE WAIT The rest of the party took off for the zone and lived.
So my 1 thru 4 hot keys are buff du jour (anthem or chant depending on if
party likes str or dex), bellow, denons, chains - this is for me being
battle bard and in melee combat. Other song loaded are lullaby, guardian
rythmns, hymn, and jig (hmm usually have selos up too but inside Keep no
need really.)

One thing that pains me more then anything is to see a Bard
that ONLY uses
bellow in combat :( I have been spending time in High Keep
for the last few
levels, and when I see a message flash across my screen
showing a bard just
bellowing his/her heart out I wince. When I am not in my
regular group I
always explain the tactics I will be using with something
like this:
Tonight's song list consists of the following in regular
combat: Anthem 'de
Arms (boast str, atk speed), Psalm of warth (grp damage
shield and AC),
chains (slow atk spd and snare). Do not snare or root
unless I call for it.
Then a second one saying:
If a gob is glowing red and I am not attacking leave it
alone I mesmirizing
it. If I call out charming so and so, I have charmed that
gob.
Many groups I have been in are amazed that one- I do not use
bellow :), two-
that I can keep three song effects going.
But for the life of me I can not understand why they whine
so much when I
say good night, lol.
