I would like suggestions on a Brd macro that would keep adds mez'd until tank attacked them. Any other assistance is great but not essential because my 6 box group does fine with one mob at a time. I am using autoenc.mac with my enchanter and the crowd control is fine but if the bard can take over those duties I can swap in a Bst to replace the enchanter for extra dps.

I have tried some of the multiclass macro's for the bard and so far have not had much luck with them consistantly handling adds. If you have used one of them and it handles crowd control for you, can you send me a copy of your .ini.

The goal is to be able to 6-box semi-afk in instanced zone and having more dps gives me more down time between repops so less chance of running out of mana at a bad time once cycle is started.

My 2 best mez spells are Morell's (1/68) and Luvwen's (1/70)Lullabies, the mobs I am after are all 68 and under.

Basic layout is the only thing that is the same,new class, new zone...

Ranger
Tank.mac from here
but I have made quite a few mods

Bard
Autobot from VIP
(not working as well as I need) First priority is crowd control, I have Hott

Cleric
Healer from RG (Alatyami)
Best Out of the box macro I have ever used!!!

Enc
Autoenc from VIP
Good mac want to replace with Bst using BstHelper

Dru
Autobot from VIP
Great mac but takes significant effort to get this working at its best.
 
This is my autobot ini for my bard. He assists the main tank, sings 4 melee songs when fighting, sings regen when not fighting and will mez adds.

Tried Gildon's .ini and its not mezzing adds quick enough. Is anyone willing to write a simple macro for my bard that only checks for adds and keeps them mezzed until MA has them targetted. I have Leader AA Hott and I always mark the mob my MA is focusing on. For now I do not care if it does nothing else. I will add more to the macro once I start playing with what I can do without affecting the main purpose of the mac.

BTW, the reason quick mezzing is important is because adds usually head straight for cleric and 2 hits is all she can take...
 
I am just starting to set up a 3 then 4 box group. If you take Enc out Bard slow is good enough for you? I have SK, Bard, Cleric then I don't know what will be 4th dps or Shammy
 
we have a mage, bard, shammy, warrior, ranger, cleric. the shammy does good with spirit of leapord dps plus dots/nukes, the bard uses overhaste and other group buffs and straight melee dps...
 
When I 6-box in Rcod, I camp in Filligno the Slayer's room. I can easily handle any of the mobs in Bowlord Rorn's room and Prodigy/Rianda room. Clearing both rooms is easy until I get a double pull and blow the mez. This is easy aa xp and every now and then runes drops...so any help to make mezzes reliable would be greatly appreciated.
