I've seen a lot of guides on Youtube, read plenty from reddit and the like but I have yet to find something that offers a basic priority set. This is a proc-heavy class for me (I guess really they all are, I'm a healer main after all) and sometimes all the flashing buttons get me flustered.

I know songs are like the foundation of Bard-dom, should I prioritize keeping them up over refreshing dots? Or should I clip dots if that situation was going to arise?

I'm only level 60 right now but is holding barrage for sidewinder always better than using it with Empyreal arrow?

Also are refresh and tactician our only aggro dumps? Cause if so even using them on CD I'm pulling off my tanks. They're random DF tanks so the issue might lie with them, just curious here.

I know there aren't absolutes and different situations require adaptation but I'd like to have a good foundation to start with and the experience of all you lovely Bards seems like my best shot.



Tl;dr I'm looking for a priority list on BRD procs/systems, general BRD advice and cross role abilities.
