There's two bard NPCs.
Kelkim Menkia (51 Bard Epic NPC)
Baenar Swiftsong (50 Bard NPC)
The former summons but is a total beast. Just weaponize both, and 2 clerics to CH, and you're set. (Though breaks are extremely scary, and that's why you have DA and CH Sky Necks). When we duo'd it the fight always burned 90-100% of our mana then we had to use 1 or 2 charges from CH Necks. You really need a CH landing every 10-15 seconds or you will lose a pet.
Basically when I'm doing a solo with Puppet Strings, I will usually do a quick search on the wiki and figure out what 45-51 NPCs are in zone and test the MR of them with root/snare to figure out viability as a pet. There are a few 51 NPCs that are absolutely beastly pets that most people don't think about because they are quest NPCs. The problem however is that you cannot kill them and loot pet gear you gave them.
Bard Epic NPC in Lake Rathetear I also used to solo the 3-mob chain for Twisted Bone Earring/Necro Epic crap on my Druid a few times. <3 epic NPCs.
