Advice for Bard.... (Fighting Casters.)

[Lizardtheinsane]

Anyone out there mind giving me a little advice. I'm not too proud to ask. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] On EQ Live I soloed my Bard to like Level 45. Here on P99 I just got Level 21 the other night.

I got taken out by a caster (Necromancer.) that conned Light Blue to me. Actually the mob killed me twice, lost my level and almost died a third time.... Christ it's like I didn't even have a chance.

Currently I'm wearing a set of Banded Armor. Don't recall where my SV Magic is at. Should I be trying to Mesmerize while twisting AE damage songs or what? Dual Weld tanking while twisting Heal and AE Damage did me no good. My head it still spinning from this. LOL. It was traumatic.

I'm used to kiting so any advice on how to go toe to toe with a caster would be appreciated.

Thanks.
