A question about Bards
At the later levels, do Bards run into issues in terms of certain songs not stacking with other class abilities? For example, do songs which increase a groups haste, mana, and health regen stack? What about debuffs like our slow line? I guess basically what I'm asking is if we get into a group with a Shaman or Enchanter, are we offering anything else or adding onto their buffs or are we just killing our wrists twisting for no reason?
Thanks for any help!

Part of what differentiates a good bard from a mediocre bard is having the knowledge of other classes abilities so that you can best compliment them. There is always something you can be doing to increase the effectiveness of the group, if someone else is doing one of the things you're doing, stop doing that thing and start doing something else. Unless you're in a group with a bunch of other bards, there will always be some other song you can rotate in.

It's a real pain in the ass having to constantly keep track of who's in your group and what buffs they're handing out so you can modify your twist accordingly
But that's what we signed up for

Mana/health regen songs will stack with all other types. Slows will not stack and the enc/shm one will override yours (mostly), I always found it good practice to get a pre-slow on the mob until the enc/shm landed theirs. Enc/Shm in group? I'd still play mana/health songs and haste because of the extra stat increases. Toss in psalm of _____ when needed and everyone is happy.

I wish I could find "Krescendo's Haste Guide" from the old eqdiva site. I can't remember if the stackable haste songs were added with later expansions, or which expansions they were. But there was "regular haste" that did NOT stack with other haste, "Bard Haste" that DID stack with other haste, and then there was "Bard Overhaste" that allowed you to break the "haste cap."
Hopefully I will relearn all this stuff again. I'm just getting started here, and its amazing how much stuff I forgot. | ||

Hooray! You found it!!!
Now if you could find my best tutorial: "Anatomy of a Train: A Newbie Guide to Aggro and Pulling" ... I did find the Project 1999 Wiki, which does have a decent explanation of Haste: http://wiki.project1999.com/Haste_Guide I noticed that the "above haste cap" songs did not exist until Luclin. . | ||
