...with my 31 Warden in RoV, crawling for named mobs with another 2-boxer running a Guardian and Wizard. We hit up the Weavemaster a few times and got master chests...2 steel clusters, a few Ad1 books, armor, and 1 Master 29 Troubador spell.
I won the lotto for the master book and prompty mailed it to my 22 Troubador upon returning.
A bit later, I logged on my Trouby which has become a 27 Woodworker. Actually, this was supposed to be my guild-only character, but we can't seem to get together regularly anymore. :( So he's been crafting for a long while.
I stopped by the broker and picked up a few Ad1 upgrades and reviewed my hotbars. It took about 15 minutes of reviewing and sorting to finally get them all settled. It seemed I had old abilities still up, and had no clue what my current abilities are. A quick review at the guild bank showed a Quiver available, which I scooped up.
Spells all set, I took the A-boat to Thundering Steppes to try my mettle. I easily dispatched a few crabs near the docks and was pleased. I knew, though, that I was not using all my skills to the best ability, and decided to move into the riverbed for bigger fish. Up to now I hadn't used a bow shot, stealth attack, or rear attack.
A met a few blue-v skeletons and pulled with my bow shot. That went well. Next mob I stunned and jumped behind for a rear attack...it worked! Next mob I stealthed and started with a high damage attack.
I was soon able to take those blue skeletons with one "round" of skills - using each skill only once before it was dead.
Bolstered with new-found confidence and immunity to all forms of harm, I decided to try a yellow skeleton (level 25). It intimidated me with a large first hit, and I fumbled over and couldn't find my rear-attack...needless to say, I ran for the docks.
Determined, I headed back. Started with a stealth attack, followed with 2 debuffs, then a stun-rear attack, then 2 HO's, 2 AE songs, another stun-rear attack...and won! Of course I was down to about 4% health, but I was feeling good. :)
I practiced those skills and combos a bit longer before logging for the night, ending up with about 15% exp gained.
Blasted alt's... :/

So there I was...Follow
I have a lvl 19 bard who has already completed the troub training. So far I am really enjoying the whole bard thing but I don't think I will ever replace the ranger...
I'm also enjoying the abundance of buffs available. In fact, I have so many to choose from, it's challenging to always switch buffs for the situation.
Bard buffs are not that hard to decide what to use. They are so much better now that debuffs dont take concentration.
I always have my movement buff on, my self agi/int, and my parry buff( defense for you troubs). Then it depends, I almost always use my str buff, but that is dirge only, but use full solo or for the tank. If I want some more defense I use my str/agi buff. Then my biggest choice is do I use my pot buff or my dps buff, soloinf dps, and grouped pot. I seldom use my proc, not enough use compared to the other stuff.
My noxious buff is only used whan fighting those types.

Can Troubadors use poison? I guess I should just go to the local vendor and see if they red-out.
"Can Troubadors use poison?"<<<< nope
My destined for Troubadorism troll is only 18, so I can't speak from that side, but for a dirge, it requires a little more thought (at least for me)as you get several bars full of buffs.
If you are in a raid and in the right group...ie MT or melee dps.... as well as most groups, your self int/agi buff may not be your best choice. Additional melee dps, tank str/aggro grabber, group disease/poison mit buff may not leave room for it.
Depending on the quality of your healing and the strength of the enemy, the stoneskin proc and parry buff may be using concentration points as well...certainly in most MT raid groups you'll use these when you get them.
At 60 I am constanly making conc. buff decisions..and evaluating and changing those changes in mob/group makeup.
