Well, luckily I have a rl level 35 bard friend who I talk all the tima and
ask him for advice. In groups though, I still wonder about my song
selections some time. Soloing I use warsong, bellow, bellow, because I'm
fighting white or yellow con'sing monsters and I need the extra damage
from bellow to win the damage race. In a group of two, I actually sing
anthem, warsong, bellow, since I am probably better equipped then my
groupmate and it would be better for me to tank, so I try and pull it on
myself. In larger groups I sing anthem, healing, bellow, and I think
that's pretty much the standard right? Obviously I drop the last song if
the lag gets too high, which is almost always bellow.
