bard mez is kinda specil ive noticed..., but honestly i dont even Bother mezing much anymore, id rather not lose DPS from the bard so he can mez some stupid shit. if its big enough pull just burn.... but yeah u

Stop singing group songs and focus on just cycling targets?

yeah but if ur AE mez u can just keep singng ur songs no cycling but most stuff is immune to everything sept the AA.....thrw the mez out and make it the best songs for melee and caster dps dicho and pulse. Consistantly nd consantly while attacking, DOing clickie buffs n shit on downtime, want that dps and mana/end regen make that bard work

 

[Maskoi]

Bards are zero DPS. Use the Mez. You are not losing anything.

 

[Bloodiedeals]

Yeah? I'll turn the mez back on then...

My bard is pretty well decked out on AA/group gear. He will do 15-20k dps which isn't nothing, but ain't great compared to dps class.

I think i'm going to leave the AE mez and just work in the Dirge Mez AA. I also need to include the bard epic in clickies to check for.

My bard can do over 100k dps when discing.

When I am playing melee melody and dpsing I usually do at least 40k. When I play a dd melody while doing dps I usually do at least 70k. The above is burn while doing dps and dd melody (non raid buffed).

WAIT ONE MINUTE.... rogue mercs do 35k dps? thats considerably more than the 20-25k casters do.

What songs are you twisting to achieve the above DPS on bard too btw?
What discs are you running?

I want to build this into the macro.

No enc in group, it was zerker main(as in someone playing him, pushing buttons, ect), sk box, bard main (me playing), cleric, cleric merc, rogue merc. I have all the merc aa for rogue merc. In my bard ini I posted you basically click everything as fast as possible that is in the burn section.

Burn1=Reflexive Retort Rk. II
Burn2=Thousand Blades
Burn3=Song of Stone
Burn4=Tune Stuck In Your Head
Burn5=Flurry of Notes
Burn6=Frenzied Kicks
Burn7=Quick Time
Burn8=Dance of Blades
Burn9=Fundament: Third Spire of the Minstrel
Burn10=Latent Etheric Breastplate of the Performer
Burn11=Farseeker's Plate Chestguard of Harmony
Burn12=Funeral Dirge
Burn13=Cacophony
DPS2=Blade of Vesagran|99
DPS3=Fierce Eye|99

Burn10 is the bards currently equipped BP (my alt bard btw :p)
Burn11 is the anguish BP

Melee:
1. Aria of Maetanrus
2. War March of Jocelyn
3. Fjilnauks Song of Suffering
4. Arcane Melody
5. Pulse of Sionachie
6. Silisia's Lively Crescendo
7. Motlak's Lively Crescendo
8. Tsaph's Insult
9. Kaficus' Insult

For melee

/melody 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 6 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 7 3 4 5

However for this burn I most likely changed my burn melody to:

/melody 1 2 8 9 3 8 9

Make sure also bard aura is on and symphony of battle is on.

Situational. I'll use the lazy bard example because I am super lazy when it comes to CC as a bard.
2 mobs in camp = A lazy bard will stop all singing and just focus on single target mezzing and go back melee'ing the active mob.
3+ mobs in camp a lazy bard will AE mez and go back to /twist whatever. When AE mez is up again and 3+ mobs still in camp the bard will AE mez again. If there is just 2 mobs in camp, the lazy bard will single target mez until the active mob is dead.
The only exception to that is if 3 mobs were in camp and AE Mez lands then 2 mobs add. The bard would have to single target mez the 2 additional adds as there is a 30sec refresh on ae mez. At which point he would keep the 2 adds locked with single target mez and then ae mez when it's ready. I believe there is a 6 mob limit on the AE mez as well.

The single target mez only last like 20 seconds and 4 seconds to cast/recast. No bard is going to try and twist in grp songs when 3 or more mobs are in camp and single target mez at the same time. Just ae mez 3+. When just 2 mobs in camp stop singing and lock down the add with single target mez. That's the easiest approach and tbh thats how I play my bard manually also. I will also toss a disclaimer out there I usually run with a chanter just so I dont have to CC :P

And I'm sure there other bards out there that will prob argue the stop singing part but you also need to know mq2melee selos kick doesn't honor mezzed mobs. You can easily switch back to the target that needs to be mezzed and kick it and break mez.. so you have to account for dumb shit like that.

Of course, I am also working at revamping the mez section to make the bard actually mez properly. Thank you so much for the feedback! I'll add a switch into the next beta so you can disable mez altogether.

Ok I'm a noob when it comes to bards... How does one mez on a bard other than AE Song mez?

I know Single target mez and AA Dirge, but how do bards typically use these? Stop singing group songs and focus on just cycling targets?

There are a lot of ways to do it, whatever meets your needs. etc..

downshit2=/if (${Macro.Name.Equal[kissassist.mac]} && !${Me.Buff[Selo's Sonata].ID} && !${Me.Moving} && ${Group.Member[${MainAssist}].Distance}<100 && !${Me.Invis}) /alt act 3704

Can get rid of this in the downshit:

!${Me.Moving}

This isn't necessary as bards can cast while moving.
