Bard Trek, The Next Generation

[KingMort]

For the entire life span of my server I have played a bard on live , and have always not permitted myself to really dive into my own bards on the server for fear that I would become biased, or get carried away. After over 2 years of working on almost 5,000 custom spells for all 16 classes from levels 88-100 I went back through the list and was amazed to find that I had completely neglected the Bard class on Raid Addicts. (No wonder no one was playing one, and how ironic considering I am a bard)

Anyway what I have done, is re-wrote the book on the Bard Class the way I believe bards SHOULD have gone on live, they were known as "Jacks of all Trades" according to earlier class descriptor's however as of late the Bard Class on live ( though I still love the bard ) has slipped into a role that I do not consider them to be "Jack's of all Trades"

So , introducing the Raid Addicts Bard ... I invite all professional Bards to login to the server and give it a shot , I think you will highly enjoy your experience there. Bard's are still Bards, as far as class balancing goes, but the amount of detail I have recently put into them makes me feel that Raid Addicts now has the best bard class , in all of Everquest! (Blunt statement but that's how I feel now)

Anyway pro bards , come check it out !

Oh also, be sure you get to level 100 to see what I am referring to, the majority of the new songs are from levels 88-100 :)

This is very true, I tested them out myself. In the years of EMU and EQ live I have never had this much fun as a bard. Once you get past lvl 86 the songs are a lot of fun. From the enthrall and charm, to the AE Fear and AE snare. It gives kiting a whole new meaning. a Massive AE raid heal and some other unique songs to discover make you pick from your limited gem slots.

Most of us are used to swarm kiting in wide open zones and focused on circling mobs and hoping DD and AE DoT's land. That isn't very common on this server, because most zones are close quarter's so you need to get creative, up close and personal with mobs. Running at 100% speed boost around objects and mobs that hit for mass damage is both challenging and rewarding with KMRA'S custom loot tables.

Bards have a major roll in the melee dps percentages, with special weapon damage proc's, insane haste, damage shield, and AC boosts in one (5 song) twist. Not to mention the added clicky boosts from other in game gear that stack. Your own DPS will have you clicking fading mem often. This will ensure you a spot in any group.

I'm not going to list song names , levels or percentages. This will spoil the fun for new bards on the server. But if you ask in game I'd gladly give you a tour and the ones I use the most. I was hoping to see a few more people come to check this out, but I guess a change in content isn't appealing enough?

So, I dare any Bards reading this to prove me wrong, unless Your scared of a Girl that is?
