And all of this is besides the fact that you don't get a good single target dot until lvl 38, then 46.
So you gunna mez then use your AOE dot? Or you just gunna twist buff songs with your instruments. Enhancing your buff songs doesn't automatically make things more efficient because you're sacrificing potential melee damage with an FBSS / haste / good weapons. If you didn't have FBSS then maybe straight buffing is better. But if you're only buffing then why not just bring a shaman or real DPS? Rather have a rogue or literally any true DPS than bard buffs and nothing else.

Do you know a bards DPS just swinging the sticks? I’ll keep playing this trolled game. No I will never use pbaoe dots in a group, I reserve that for when I’m killing 8 mobs simultaneously solo in unrest or whatever. Even at low lvls the bard regen song is extremely powerful when enhanced it is the best regen in the game. It saves Clerics and druids TONS of mana, even enough to allow them to nuke sometimes. Shamans and necros the mana saved is two fold due to lich and canni. Any caster has a manastone great even better. I have healed groups solo as a bard low lvls no problems. If your melee and casters are all full hp. Pulse mana song. If your melee and casters are full hp and mana do whatever the hell you want your group obviously isn’t being challenged, but for the sake of min/maxing efficiency as a bard, pre-epic, you should have your instruments out 99% of the time.
