hehe been there (top floor tree house) still there in fact
this is the one good place I have found for the Melifious Motion song - esp
when with younger groups - you are in the center of a 4 bird spawn and I
have seen 3 avo's spawn at the same time. It makes for an excellent
evacuation tool.
also lament is great here - sadden the ones you don't want to fight and pull
the others to the outter edge and fite it there (don't fight in the middle
of the room) - then you only fight 2 if the 4th spot spawns while u are in
melee.
These are good tricks I learned from Jaezebel - younger but lots smarter
bardess than me!
Me, I stand in the middle of the room and play chords. That way I can get
the birds that spawn on the ground to attack me even though I am some 5
stories up off the ground. BTW: Krak the merchant birdie like my singing
too! In fact he'll run all the way to the zone with me when I am playing my
songs!
Sylly.

Subject: [eqbards] The surefire way for a bard to
avoid being a mobs main target
From: "Reece, Tom - 25IDL G4"

Last night, at the suggestion of a few people from this
list, I ventured for
the first time to South Karana to hunt aviaks. I had been
in South Karana
before to complete the Qeynos bard quest but had never
fought anything
there. I joined a group that consisted of five 28th level
players, four of
which were casters. The fifth person was a 28th level bard
(Cherlas). To
avoid overlapping songs in combat, we agreed that she would
sing the level
25-28 songs while I would sing anthem, chain, and anything
else appropriate.
We were camping at the top of the village where avocets,
harriers, rooks,
and darters all spawn (very quickly). I fought with this
group for almost
two hours. Me and the other bard were the default tanks.
For the first
time in a long time, I was no longer the center of
attention. In almost
every fight, the 28th level bard would pull and get the
aviaks initial
attention. When one of the casters unloaded on the aviak,
they often found
themselves the center of attention. I, on the other hand,
almost never got
attacked the entire night. The most health I ever dropped
to was about 50%.
This happened when an avocet spawned while we were in the
process of
fighting a rook and a harrier.
Moral of the story: Two bards in a group can be lots of fun.
The lower
level bard also has the luxury of not having to worry too
much about getting
continually whacked on.
