Pugs are terribly dysfunctional here, especailly hib ones

If you want any kind of decent groups you'll have to make friends with the few decent people who rvr.

Aye zarkor, i didnt read "competent"

FALSE ! menta have demezz with 28 in mentalism

Dex3 is important !

Mezz break point:

338 dex
---------------------------- Breaking point ----------------------------
337 dex

308 dex
---------------------------- Breaking point ----------------------------
307 dex

everything else +1 Thalien (Marialea)

My bard spec:
44 music
43 nurture
20 regen

imo,
44 music is enough to have the last ae-mezz, last dd
43 nurture to get the last speed song
20 regen, better than 16 regen (in general, people put 16 to get the 2nd rez only)
12 weapon (Oh yeah I roxx :p)

About RAs, atm, I have:
SOS1
Purge1
Moc1
MCL1
LW1
I want purge 3btw... :p

That's nice to know
Did he test it here on Uthgard? This whole breaking point theory is quite new (at least on a Uthgard timeline where fixes take 1-2 years ^^) and I'm not sure if its implemented here.
If so I should really get dex3, one more RR up to go=)

I highly doubt there are any breaking points on Uth.
The only way to go to my mind is: LW1 Purge3 SoS1 MoC1 in that order, even with breaking points in that order. Then you should go SoS2/Dex3 then Dex3/AM2.

sign, dex3 is a luxury on a bard.

nah dex4 ftw

nah man dex5 and am3 man, skills that kills ya dig

Dex4 is quite nice for heals/rebuff/single mezz/rezz thats right, but on ae mezz you dont get a real difference to dex3

wtb RA respec

Atm, I've LW1, Purge3, MOC1, Dex3 and SOS1.

And I am hesitating now to take AM1, MCL1, Dex4 or SOS2. I think my RA bases are enough, and that makes my choice difficult cause I see new RAs as really bonus now

Pros and Cons for that RAs imo:

AM1:
+ Life pool, nice for smallmen or kite strategy
+ AM1 costs only 5 RA pts
- AM2 is better

MCL1:
+ Mana, pop every 3 minutes
+ Sometimes I'm oom, and sometimes my pots aren't enough
+ MCL1 costs only 5 RA pts
- About those mana pots, I'm rarely in real "need".

Dex4:
+ As Ino advices me, I use to use solo mezz more and more, and it's really effective
- It costs 10 RA pts...

SOS2:
+ 30 seconds of CC imune is nice to kite
+ Sometimes 10 seconds are not enough
- 10 points is huge
- I think I can handle fights with only SOS1 but well...

Waiting for your point of view, if some players who played with me can advice me regarding my gamestyle, it would be nice

We can run a bit Bard Duo

At all i would advice mcl1 now, am is a nice gimmik, but usually you need a bit more than am1 to heal up, am2 works good, but its also expensive, another benefit on mcl is the low timer, 3min vs 15min am1 timer.
SoS2 is later in grp rvr quite nice, but what you get when your grp escapes or kites good and you arent able to heal/cc because you're oom.
Sere2 + mcl2 + pom barrel is imo the lowest must have for bards, if you play healbard (33reg) think about mcl2/sere4.
Atm i play bard in hybrid specc for solo, and in grps it suxx, because you ran oom too fast.

Maybe the other Bards here can give me some adives on my specc idea of a SplitSpecc (non grp).
44 Music
33 Nurture (got cap buffs by items+rr)
15 Regrowth
21 Blades
25 Blunt
Since i figured out how to fight with my bard i think about this specc, atm working on a Gear that allows me to play this Setup. Hints or Advices / Ideas are welcome
