We're not a second class class, my group was killing gnomes last night
(they're so cute makes you want to kill em) but anyways, to the point...
Our tactic is our druid would snare, i would then charm to clear the hatred
of the druid. While it was charmed our rogue would disarm the guard. When it
became uncharmed, it would bee line for me, but i'd play fear song and the
clerics were stunning it, never in these fights we'd lose over a bubble of
health, then after fight i reduce down time. I went afk for about half an
hour last night and the group was practically crying for my return, they
were getting beat down really bad in my absence. When i got back they were
like a bunch of junkies that just got a good fix (mana regen)
Later on that night i was speaking with one of the clerics for over an hour
and he couldnt beleive how much bards rocked more once they got the mana
regen song, he couldnt beleive how much more i was pulling my weight now. It
felt good to finally feel needed in the group. But back to the fight, the
snare, fear and stun are great tactic for wide open spaces and our rogue
loved it as it was great for his backstabs.
