[Warlock88]

I been looking at the INI for bard set up.. I am just wondering what songs I should be twisting I see 2 7 8 5 4 ( example of ini ) . My main two accounts are an SK and Necro. So just looking for some guildlines as to what songs he should be twisting during combat to maximize my other toons abilities. Currently my bard is level 98.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Currently I am just twisting what I think looks good. Just wanted to hear from some experienced players and what they are using to maximize their groups damage out put

Thanks

Warlock,

Here is a good guide for song lineups based on the type of group you have.

The only thing that sticks out to me is TwistOn=0 your gonna wanna change that to TwistOn=1. Other than that what level mobs are you hunting and what spells are you using in your melee twist mainly which one is the slow and which slow are you using?

Also as you bard is 98 you can use the 96 single target mez Lullaby of the Forsaken.

 

[Warlock88]

currently my bard is lvl 98 pushing his way to 100 if I can afk another day with out being bothered. I am hunting mobs that are yellow to him so probably lvl 100 mobs at max. CUrrenty I don't have any slow spells in my melee twist I am using
Kolains' lively crescendo,
arcance address
war march of the iidara
wasinai psalms of potency
dirge of the fallen rathe.

Should I put Requiem of Time in with the melee twist section for him to slow the mobs/>

As per Mez section does not having twist on effect this/?

thank you for your help

 

[DeathFromAbove]

If you need the slow I would mix it in you melee twist (that's what I currently do with quickened requiem of time). As for the Mez section I do not believe that twiston=0 would mess with that but maybe someone else can clear that up some. Also, not sure if this makes a difference but do you have your MT/MA/Puller marked in the group?

 

[Warlock88]

Yes I have my SK marked all three, MT/MA/Puller. I will try adding the Slow in with the melee twist to see if that helps. Currently I do not need the slow for the mobs I am killing. SK is full CoTF raid geared,. I just want to have ti set and and working so when he hits lvl 100 I can start to do the Dead hills mac for sk and have a slower and mezzer ( my bard )


Thanks for your help

[Mez]

MezRadius=50 
MezMinLevel=50 
MezMaxLevel=98

MezSpell=SlumberofKolain 
MezAESpell=WaveoftheConductor|2|

You need to remove the pipe "|" symbol after the 2 on your aemez line. I would also recommend increasing that number. For my ae mez i use 6, as my bard can lock down 5 with his single mez. But that comes with your play style as well. Set as two and your single target mez will never fire.

In the General section you do not need TwistOn=1 unless you want to twist out of combat.

As for Requiem of Time, you would have to setup a lengthy twist in order to fire it off or setup a downflag or holyflag for it to fire automatically.

Your meleetwistwhat would have to be something that twists for a minute until requiem is ready.... Say requiem is gem1

MeleeTwistWhat=1 45678 4 5 6 7 8 4 5 6 7 8

Or setup a holyflag:

holyshit5=/if (${Me.SpellReady[Requiem of Time]} && !${Target.Buff[Requiem of Time].ID} && ${Target.PctHPs}>65 && ${Target.PctHPs}<98) /cast "Requiem of Time

 

[DeathFromAbove]

Hmm I have my requiem set up in my twist without having my twist run an entire minute. It cast requiem then just goes through the rest of my twist normally until Requiem of Time is up.

 

[GPS_Soldier]

When i get home I can elaborate more and post my various ini files. I roll with an SK and Wizard with my Bard everywhere.

You are probably right, just my old school /melody hotkey setup.

With the holyflag setup Requiem will fire off more often at the beginning of fights and you will not have to wait for global cooldown as often on your next fight if it was just refreshed at the end of the fight.
