Question - Bard question

[dchap0808]

I'm trying to set my bard to always use melody, in and out of fights, just repeating the songs over and over, but when a mob is pulled, need her to go in and melee. Best I can get right now is melody and no melee, or melee and she starts to use melody as soon as the fight starts.

Is there a way to have a bard melody all the time, and melee when a mob is pulled?

You got a lot going with your bard here.
Bard songs last 18 secs and take 3 secs to cast. you never want to twist more than 5 or you start losing overlap.
You have your bard trying to do like 12 things in DPS and no melee twist defined.
Also look at your buffs and lose any items that cast a buff that is now an AA with the perma buff changes or it will cause problems like Buffs8=Brewer's Mesh Cloak.
Here is my bards ini file. Check it out and simplify yours until it works then slowly add stuff.

I had a decent but real basic macro for the bard a while ago, but had copied things here and there trying to fine tune it, and yea, it got a little out of hand.

Thanks. I'll see if I can refine it with what you have there. Thanks!

So far so good. After a bit of going over my ini, it had duplicates lines and all kinds of crap. Copy and pasted a few to many lines from other people.
Working good now. Just need to refine it a little to get better dps. Thanks!

 

[Maskoi]

Cool. Glad its working for you now.
