Bard play video...of hands on keyboard???

[Gustoo]

Is there any good bard players out there willing to a show a video of their hands while maybe simultaneously showing video of what their character is doing?

I really like the bard concept but am not sure if I have what it takes to hit buttons so much.

Looking for someone of moderate to high skill to show some techniques on playing this class decently.

literally all you have to do is make 4 macros

/stopsong
/cast 1

/stopsong
/cast 2

/stopsong
/cast 3

/stopsong
/cast 4

then physically press the numbers 1 2 3 4 on your keyboard

If you play any other games, youll find that your keypresses on bard are still significantly less often and confusing then even standard rotations in MMO's or Action games.

I found bard just as relaxing to play as any class with 4 stopsong buttons setup.

I do find I chat (type) a lot more in EQ than other MMOs. Definitely a difference during downtime of a bard twisting for a group vs say just sitting and meditating.

just bind 1-4 to a steering wheel and go ham

part of the trouble with bard is that your keypresses are consistently timed and patterned. it follows a rhythm and the rhythm never really changes. that is, at least for me, what causes wrist trouble. like a repetitive stress injury. i can spam keys all day long and mash buttons so long as they are wild and inconsistent, but the repetition fucks my wrist up

this is the best video of a bard on p99 that i've seen. as you can see he does much more than press 1,2,3,4. no hand cam tho.

bard is probably the most diverse small group control class p99 offers. other than enchanters, though i'd say half of their complexity is just their high risk.

I have this specific issue with swarm kiting. I can time my dots pretty well, and land them even switching instruments at the same time. But 15 minutes into the kite my hand on my mouse starts getting cramped up from right click turning for so long, and I end up dying because of it.

SO, a video of someones hands while swarm kitting would be very interesting to me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
