I'd have to disagree there. used to duo AOE down the entire DL zone for a full yellow/clear at 46-49. (full yellow, to both in the DUO, WITH bard 50% xp pen)

It's really not that bad maybe slower in DL but anything else is bout same. I average about 4K per hour PLing still (only do it for friends now as I love my ranger). That's not far off old rates. I changed where I pull to tho so leashes is easier

Edit : When I did good 25 pull in DL for snacks he was. Getting 20% at 49 every 10-12min it's not that much worse

I should re-iterate that this was when bards had a 50% xp pen.

This wasn't in a PL

2 characters were getting a full yellow as a duo (with penalty). If it was PLing it'd be almost an entire half level (or more) per pull.

/shrug all I'm saying is it didn't effect my PLin that bad. I really don't care to argue the point as I'm retired from it. Carry on with whatver

I don't even bard and haven't seen said bard friend in years, it's just irritating to see a class gimped by nonclassic mechanics.

I agree with FT and I also don't PL that often I mostly bust my bard out for guild running or camping long spawns.

The days of PLing on this server are pretty much dead.

Spyder you missed the boat on this one.

I have a level 52 Bard that I was hoping to have a friend use to PL me but then it dawned on me that I am not exactly sure what the most effective PL method is. From observations while playing it looks like you probably twist AoE snare and a damage shield? I also have the SS bracer that I think stacks with DS.

Basically I am curious to what the best method of PLing is, and I am also curious to where some good spots are to level a character from level 5 to 25.

I see at level 54 we get a new debuff called Selo's Assonant Strane...is this spell needed for effective PLs or does Largo' Melodic Binding work just as well?

My cleric was PLed by a bored 48 bard in crush bone and unrest. Just have a cleric or other bard in your group to aoe the mobs as your friend uses your bard to snare, mez, heal himself, etc to keep aggro. It's very possible. Hell even a low level bard can PL someone their level. Have them swarm kit while the person sits there gaining exp but any way bards are fun. love my bard (when ever I get the time to play her).
