Couple things to add that I did not see mentioned, or missed because I am in travel mode and not paying enough attention up to 85, the group regen song is cantata line, at 86 it changes to pulse. all of our mana regens stack (pulse, aura, chorus, crescendo, dicho and reflexive disc)

The rest of my hotkeys are the usual bard ones like a Fade hotkey and a mez key. I also have a key that does harmony of tone and Requiem of time. Bellow and sonic displacement are on their own key as well for pulling purposes. I have a few hotkeys linked to the same key as well but nothing of too much import. Now my song lineups depend on what group I get placed in. Melee DPS, Caster DPS, or Tank group. My Melody 1 when A tune stuck in your head isn't active, is the same spell gem rotation as before: /stop song /doability 3 - Track for me /melody 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 (12) My Melody 2 When A tune stuck in your head is active /stop song /doability 3 /alt activate 8261 /melody 3 4 5 5 6 7 8 8 10 11 (12)
This is a copy&paste of something very old? It has 10 minute /timers on its 3 minute cooldown stuff, and advocates a mana aura. It's ... bad. Why are there double numbers in the melodies? There's no mention at all of Insults or Dicho or Crescendo despite it claiming to be for "any bard 85+"
People ask me why I stay away from the boards reading some of these posts reminds me why. In my head I'm like do you even Bard bro. If that offends sorry but truth sometimes does that.
On a TLP that just unlocked TBS and now we have access to power sources, but I can't for the life of me figure out which Solteris power source would go best for a raiding bard. I've been looking at Pure Energian Elemental Orb for raiding because it's got no downsides, and the Light version for 2-boxing with my cleric.
