Hibernia need bards....

[Brennik]

Lull = basically an attack against you, so it interrupts various things (cast, minstrel/skald speed etc)... only thing it doesn't seem to interrupt is stealth timer (which kinda sucks, you have time to spam three lulls on some scout and still can't get into dd range before the bastard stealths). Single and ae lulls timed *just* right will interrupt a caster for long enough to fuck his cast AND quickcast up (I'm not good at that, but ask Miss, Daigh or Gargo).

I have the answar to this problem seriously Mythic should let EVERY char from every Realm move around at speed 5 and give Sklads / Minstrels and Bards something else to compensate their loss...

The only thing hard about having a bard as my main is when you a late evning do a /gc who and 4 out of 7 ppl are bards, and i am the only one not 40+

Lol, what are you talkin about man? We have only 2 lvl 40+ bards in the guild in total. My alt, and Yuki.


And on the lull stealth thing. I thought it did keep people from stealthing, i normally spam lull at fleeing stealthers and they often get caught.

Just needed to refresh peeps minds!

Working on my mind trick - i go to MM and stare at the low lvls and say: " Make a bard young padowan, make a bard!".

 

[Spudgie]

Nicky please teach Soulslayer how to be a good RvR bard cos he thinks he's a tank. What with his 21 blade spec + IP he charges in like a moose on heat, forgetting the drums are his most effective weapon.

 

[SingerOfSoul]

LOL

well TBH im officially a bored bard
i use drums alot too tbh hit end 5 and sprint with 3 tanks on back

 

[old.Biffsmash]

Well I usually go flying in with my 29 blades spec and NO ip thinking I am a tank, but this is down to getting fed up of being screamed at to mez when I am being hit by 5 tanks

Now I prefer our little guild grps cos we have 2 bards in grp and I get to hit things and heal, while my best mate(the other bard) plays end and uber heals everyone

 

[Cloak_]

Odon grp with me more

Cept when I got RP mad and ran us away from grp into a alb zerg

 

[kameh]

cloak your level 46 already?!

god your leaving my bard standing at this rate I wont be able to group with you any more

As someone has said before bards need tanks to protect them too. Nothing worse than getting 3 tanks wacking on yer ass with no one hitting them or stunning them, I have seen only a few people actively and deliberately protect the bard in their group. Usually if the bard goes down so will group so it is wise to keep him up.
Tanks should not worry about not getting into the action, you ever see how many people charge ata a bard. I can guarantee you will get someone on the bard every fight. So protect your bards.

Someone mentioned luls. They dont work on tanks, also the single lul is a low level spell so it gets resisted quite alot, the aoe lul is rarely resisted and so always seems to work better.

As regards people grouping with bards. There is still a mentality of people moaning at bards when the group dies, wtf where was the mez, wtf why no end. They gotta realise that once a bard goes into a group especially from the group leader position hes the one that everyone goes for. If he gets his mez off count yerselves lucky, it takes 3secs to cast an aoe mez, then you have to get to end song, and sprint your merry ass around never mind watching peoples health bars while trying to get more mezzzes in, pls remember that.
How many other casters take shit for missing a spell or tanks for not getting at a caster.
Faie enough we have insta mez all be it every 10mins, it gets resisted, and its not always right to cast it as it only last 27secs. I would rather have people mezzed with an aoe mez. 1min 10secs.
Also casters if you are grouped with a bard and hes trying to use mez, quit AOEing peeps. This only makes meezing pointless.

Rant over.

And remember better to have a low level bard with speed 4 than to be sitting at DL waiting for speed 5.

 

[spankya]

A bit bored of my bard so dont rvr so much with her atm. But will more again soon

And as for using area lullaby.... Yes its great when u r the only bard and need to mez a load of people and interupt the casters but for god sake, stop doing it when they are alot of bards unless u r leading. The amount of times I have run upto the AMG, mezzed loads to find some other bard come running in doing area lullaby and trying to remez..... At which stage he/she just sets everyone free.

HeHe yea made 46 a few nite ago but the oppurtunities of xp grps are lacking amazingly so I end up playing my bard with BD

 

[kameh]

rhymes you summed up so much of my own thought in that post!



obviously had many of the same experiences in rvr lol

 

[SingerOfSoul]

ah yes a few points made yes less lull initiates a combat timer so it does stop things from stealthing.

rhymes, i hardly get my minor lull resisted its base lvl based not spell lvl based on resists.

on the fact of lull it really does not do what it says on the tin. and for confuse only works on pets in rvr (kills theurg pets and confuses others).

and on the point of protecting bards most rvr grps that are not guild grps that know each and every persons play style in that grp will not protect a bard. The sad fact is everyone goes for the guy with the lute/drum if not tanks the mass amount of assasins and archers (god bless em).

 

[Brennik]

Well, guess I've gotten unlucky then and the stealthers have resisted my lulls and stealthed... Never bothered to check when they got away

 

[Rhymes]

Dont forget Infiltrators get the vanish realm ability every 30mins which means no matter what the combat state is they just disappear. Perhaps this is what is happenig mate.
