My Bard is nearly 49, and I got a lot of quests + hunting log so Ill be 50 soon. In another thread I already asked about gear progression and got some fine answers. Yet I have a couple of questions that I would love to get answered.
1. What Macro's do you use as a bard. I got the standart Bloodletter and Miserie's end slotted. I have 3 buff macro's that I use when GC is up (Hawks eye + Internal release)(Blood for Blood+ Featherfoot)(Raging Strikes+Barrage). Do you guys use any other Macro?
2. Speaking of Macro's, I see mage's with a party chat macro when they sleep mobs, I tried using one for my songs, but it also uses that when I stop using a song, so its very annoying. Any leads for this?
3. DoT's, which one do you start with and can they critically hit? I start with Venomous, but I see most people start with Wind, any reason for this?
4. Is it worth it using our Elemental song at all? I have Fire arrow and Windbite which do elemental damage. I use it when I have a BLM with me but otherwise I just save my MP for healer or when I need TP ( I am working towards invigorate, but fate grinding is a PAIN)
5. When is it worth it to use meld materia into my gear? Should I save it for endgame gear or start early?
6. Hud layout and chat. I have the combat chat open (habit from DDO) but I get swarmed with information). Do you have any specific chat layout? And for the HUD, I had this, but I am using more and more skills nowadays ( fire arrow, blunt arrow etc).
I am using a normal keyboard. Any tips on my Keybind layout? This is somewhat how it looks now
