Bard AA's

« on: December 20, 2010, 08:57:34 am »

Can anyone provide a good link that spells out exactly where to put my AA points in? Something recent/relevant? Don't see too many specifics out there so far. Thanks!

Since most bard things are gimped to the extreme I would say it doesnt matter. Also since you will max aa in a very short period of time I wouldnt worry to much.
Get the defensive ones so you take a tad less damage per hit, get in the FG for the skill boost and enjoy the class as best you can.. Until you replace it with something useful.

Yeah you will max your AAs soon I wouldn't worry to much. Balthor will run your 3.0s give him a tell in game..

After I do your 3.0 Fugitive promised he would do your 3.5 AND 4.0
If he isnt online Wack can handle that for you.

See, this is the reason why I like to sit in the background and not be important enough to volunteer anyone but myself.

I just maxed my aa's (ALL 1173 + some i didn't spend on casting subtley) yesterday.

The only real important ones in the mess, imho, were instrument / singing aa's (some of which don't work, i didn't test coming up in ranks) and defensive aa's to help with those nasty custom zone rampages.

Bard run7 is nice, as are the crit dot aa's and the range extension, but you can live without them. Everything that is important to a melee character is eventually important to you as well.

If you need any help and you see me online, just drop a tell.

I would get the crit dot AA
As currently singing all your dots is the only real dps you will do.

Oh those songs do damage? I thought all they did was sting and annoy mobs! Yeah Balth and I have a hard on for the way bards used to be, may they rest in peace.

Heh.

You can have a dot of each kind up at any given time, for those that don't know.

With a 3.0 + aa's and your 5 dots running, 4 will do around 1431 non crit, and one does 1296 non crit. Crits run about 2800 / 2600 iirc.

You get about 2.5 tics per /melody, as the dots tic 3 times before they disappear. It works out to about 1100dps once you get it all running if my math is on par. (Measly in comparison to the dps you COULD be buffing a group with, assuming haste/ds/etc. was working correctly.)

NOW, since the haste issues i've been switching to this more and more in lieu of Warsong / Call of Power buffs, BUT a 5 song (6 if you include the lvl 43 dd, does 7k/14k but ends your melody) is pretty tedious, EVEN for a single boxer.

YMMV

With puretone clicked you can do a shitload of damage with the dots.
Ahhh fuck I went and posted that, expect a nerf on that last marginally acceptable part of the class now ><

Shit we need to nerf bard mana regen song next.
Cant he having 2k regen every 6seconds from a song.
What ever would this custom server come to if we regulated bards to mana batteries for the Legions of T3 blasting wizards.

Fyi: dont take this thread seriously cause its not srz biz
