Question - Bard questions

[OldGuard]

I'm leveling one of my free 100 heroics as a bard. RGMercs is working great! I have two general questions. First, what instrument type do you recommend? I'm using string right now. Second, how can I make him do invis?

Thanks again.

The instruments focus effects should be on the gear you're wearing at that level. There might be items you can get that will provide a greater bonus. You can use raidloot.com and use the filters to search for specific gear. You can use the Bard's AA invis Shauri's Sonorous Clouding under the Archetype AA tab, make a hotkey. It can also be entered into a social as /alt activate 231.

If I remember well, at lvl 105 you can max "Shauri's Sonorous Clouding" AA which will give it the feature to double-invis: normal invis plus invis to undead. A great feature to travel through most zones without the need to be aware of the type of mobs you are passing.

OK, question #2. I now have a level 125 bard in all Perpertual Rev gear with 2 1 handed Perpetual weapons. I have all my songs at Level II. While I'm seeing a group increase in DPS, my bard is doing essentially 1%. I see him doing melee damage but out of 91.1m team damage his grand total is 118K. Do I have something not enabled? Is the bard all about enhancing the team and not doing individual damage? I do not have slows on since I have a Shaman.

I've never used a bard before, so it's all new to me.

Question #3: On the FF mission, the bard is doing this:



Can I stop this.

You can turn mez off

To question no 2: Bards melee dps is usual low. If a bard wants to dps himself, his dots are his main source of personal dps.
