resists - not very useful while leveling, but great in raids
selos - im starting to think you didnt read my post
dots - while great, they very rarely tick all the way through to full duration when exping in a group.
pbaoe snare - the movement speed is improved with instrument, however the attack speed slow is fixed
invis - if i knew what pedantic meant i might use it here
drain mana - again, raid situation
lev - see invis. not see invis, but look up to the see invis line
rune - since runes are like 50~ damage i never once considered the thought that instruments might help
nivs - Singing skill, only the epic will boost it
Again, if you are not versatile to adapt to situations. dont play a bard. you wont always melee, you wont always sit back and cantina a group, you wont always be in the main tank group, you wont always be in the 5 ranger group buffing them to high fuck getting exp all throughout PoG as the regens come alive to keep everyone going as you go /anon and someone catches you being a bard and a group of necros wants a battery asking, begging and threatening to come into their group but you are just too god damn happy watching everyones health regen so fast and your resist and atk/str songs are at their maximum effect wait im babbling. Again, if you think a bard always does one job at all times, go play something else.
To anyone who is currently reading: Do you even have "target nearest outward" bound to anything so they can start singing mez and switch back to the attack target on the fly? Not tab targeting. Bound mine to tilde since assist macros dont work while casting.

Cantana during combat is super useful both for mana regen, and also for healing up people that aren't at 100% but also aren't taking damage. Save the healers mana. Also, bard DS is massive. With instruments, can easily be roughly 50 damage per hit, which is significant. Also, many bard songs up stats, and ATK, which every rogue will love you for.
But ya, bards suck in groups and shouldn't play songs? Ok.
