Hey there. I'm curious to see what other 115 bards are using, specifically in their group (box) game, and how many songs the use in their melody. My group consists or a wiz/druid along with the bard, and a tank/healer/dps merc. Thanks
With maxed AA Insult, adps song, insult, adps song, insult, adps song, insult, adps song, insult, adps song swap a few insults to dots for some things My own bard box is a fair ways from max aa so mostly using him with as much adps as I can get out without insults as I am doing his focus lines after I get all the other stuff.
Aria, Aura, War March, 4 dots then you can pick your own flavor: Insult 1 or 2, Composite 1 or 2, some caster boost or mana regen. Bard's melee dps by itself is better than tank merc's (about 35K primary melee + about 18K from secondary + whatever few K proc dps depending on augs)
Aria, insult 1, dot 1, insult 2, dot 2, insult 1, dot 3, insult 2 but I'm not a boxer, just a bard main. and for raids I'm with a caster group. if I am with a melee group, I swap aria for warmarch And with 3 necros and 6-9 bards some nights, I drop all dots and just do insults and old ADPS songs, cuz necros be LOUDLY whiney about bounced dots..
I stick with my base 8 song twist for fight times.. downtime I have a different twist. Aria Warmarch Chorus Spiteful Symphony Amplification
Aria, Sathirs, War march, Sathirs, Dot, Dot, Sathirs Dot. I dont use Yelinaks or Ormadens because they are Mana pigs and Sathirs sparks the same synergy. Also Group game, mobs never survive one fully melody
