Classes: The Bard

Bards - the jack of all trades. Each level is a new song and a new way to play. Handy with a weapon and able to wear decent armor, bards can hold their own in a fight. Plus, the ability to twist two to three songs without using mana gives the bard a magical ability like no other class.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of the bard? Can they solo, and if so how? How should they best contribute to the group? What is the best strategy to develop your bard? What skills and songs are the most important for you to master? What equipment should you be trying to get for your bard.

Post your strategies on how to best play and develop the bard and read, rate and comment on what others have to say.

Ive been with EQ for a while but have given up after the LDON expansion. Ive heard people talk about autotwisting, is that any good? Ive played bard a little, up to about lvl 15 and didnt love it too much, but am considering giving it another chance... ive only been able to twist 3 songs solidly, but for are possible, right? How many can you twist with the automatice function?

/melody 1 2 3 4 with a space between melody, 1, 2.. lets you get in a little more mele damage because you can move around and twist at the same time but ya, lets you twist 4 songs at once with little gap between them, if any. Enjoy!
