I quit...goodbye everyone!Follow

TIME TO END THIS I QUIT! WOE IS ME! /WRIST



No not realy...was just bored and full of peer pressure :<

Stop!

Breakitdown!





Catch that? one more time! :D



:P

Yeah so i was like reading this stuff then i was like it was boring then i was like this is a runon sentence but then like i couldnt stop typing and i'm like woah cool but then i was like not cool so then i just stopped writing

This thread definetly delivers!
















On a side note, I'm starting out BRD@20 and taking it straight through to 70+ from here on in hopes to eventually be able to fund my MNK with some really nice EQ. I said "starting out" cause my friend leveled it to 20 not me (shared account)...so I need to basically learn BRD from 20 >_<. Yeah, I'm not too comfortable about skipping 20 levels on a job but I figured I should be able to figure it out.

I have a decent idea of how to play BRD, read all I could from the BRD forums and made the nessesary macros. Anything you BRDs out there think I should know? Also if you guys see me online fell free to invite me to PT even if I'm not on LFG status.

<<< {Bard} {Mega Boss}

Can ask me questions or gear loans :P

the only damage dealing song bard has is requiem, which is a DoT song ^_^;

majority of time (until merit pts/hnm really) buff-wise you'd only be singing ballads (maybe Int etude/MND etude when you don't have ballad II), madrigal(acc+) and minuet(attk+) on melees , rangers might prefer a prelude (racc+). Fun comes when you have a pld in your pt and you have ot start learning the positing and the range of your songs with specific instruments~

Elegy is the most important debuff (which you won't get till 40s i think..), if manaburn then threnody~

its easy to get the hang of~ have fun ;p

My personal experience with Reqiuem is: It does not worth to sing it usually. It does so little damage in exp PT. Sometimes I do use Requiem to tortue a Tiny Mandy :P . DoT will also render mobs not sleepable. Requiem DoTs also give mob no other negative status, and there got to be better things to do then doing Requiem.

As a bard if you dont like the party! Leave it. Also feel free to be a total asshat and dont accept invites if the party has a paladin. This will ensure that you dont have to make everyone dance to your songs to get in positon. Another good pointer is to have really long macros telling everyone what song your playing. i like to quote some of my favourite songs, and even if it gets old, its your fun. If they dont like it, they can blist you. Heck! you can blist them too. As far as songs go, just get ballad ballad 2 magic finale, fow lullaby, horde lullaby and minuets. You will never have to sing any other songs so why bother getting them right?


P.S I am not drunk :o
As a note. This is sarcasm.

you'd not want the mages to be very far away from the pld actually, a good amount of distance would do, as long as they're all in ballad range its np. Wind instrument is prolly better in controlling than String instrument for this matter, but if you're in a manaburn party it'd prolly be easier to switch to string for the bigger range

for string instrument playing ballad, ballad I has a crazily big range whereas ballad II is signicantly less (but still bigger than using wind of course), so it'd be very hard to manage for a pld+mage pt.

Its not that scary, since you get ballad 1 first its kind of step by step :) once you've been playing with your songs for a while you'd find the range

one note to add is because there is no ballad + instrument (excluding relic horn), if you do a buff with a +1 or +2 instrument (say minuet with a Cornette/Cornette+1) then immediately or very quickly after you sing 2 ballads, you'll find you have minuet and the 2nd ballad on you. This is due to the buff that is removed when a third buff is sang is depending on which one wears off first. +effect instrument will make the buff last longer so if you sing too early the first ballad might due to wear before the minuet. You'd be amaze at how many bards either not aware of this or thinks its a bug :P

I was aware of the different distance with the instruments but I was not aware at all that the version (ex. Ballad I/Ballad II) of the song has different range also. I did how ever notice that the 3rd song takes over a previews buff. So...it takes over the buff that is about to end or is it random....or it takes over the last buff you put on yourself?

I need to start playing it already cause the more I talk about it the more I find this job extremely complicated >_<

I pick you guys to be in my new Girl band O.o

You can be called Blowing Wind or String Sisters XD

So....since you guys are supposedly getting an update for new songs what are you guys/girls hoping to get?


BODYTEMP! Why did you erase your post?! Now the thread has lost it's halarity :(
