Rift-Bards

[Lyonheart]

I've been running 4 bards also currently lvl 14.

went full bard and found while its great to have SO much healing, the anthem heal along with cand is amazing but stuff doesn't die fast enough for my liking (great for PvE however)

x4 Sab is definitely where it is at for pvp. the slow bomb on a round robin while spamming the AOE bombs is really insane. VERY mobile spec

once you have coda of fury, bards have a great ae dps. If speced right, they are very hard to kill. I speced my bards for PvE and 2nd role for PvP. At 25, the only way they died was if a full group of high dps focus fired on my bards. I was living through CCs, AE etc, I used bard, riftstalker ( for the endurance buff and talents, ranger for the health talent and pet. ) And if i had help, they stayed alive do to my insane healing. I take down major rifts by myself (equal level+ a level or two higher). And I'm only 3 boxing bards atm

All that being said, if you have any build that depends on Cadence for DPS ( so you can heal ) You killing will a tad slower than a pure dps build, BUT you will live! And you will kill the shit. In PvP, you will have every buff represented and keep your raid alive!

yes stuck with this until lvl 18 (i think) for the Bard aoe finisher, awesome stuff!!
I had sab for 3rd soul, picked up riftstalker thanks for the tip.

A few tips. I found that my pets would cause me to engage targets while running through zones. I hated having to recast them ( long cast time) so I leave them on passive. I put /petattack in my dps macros and i use a repeater region over my pet bars to control pets. Works great for pet control!
