Bard Songs

[Ulrack]

Should I be keeping all these songs up in battle right now? Fortitude Song (1003), Song of Luck (1006), Song of Valor (1010), Kai's Triumph Song (1007)? The mana renewal is only 12 and I have 34 at level 11. I really don't cast spells in battle yet have not had a need to, but i am sure that will change.

I wouldn't really worry about running Song of Luck right now, it would be something you'd probably want to use when you're around creatures that use maneuvers.

Definitely don't worry about 1006. If you can handle the less defense, don't worry about 1010 either. Your songs will be renew faster than your mana will have a chance to keep up, especially at that low of a level. If you need the defense, use 1010 instead of 1007.

Also, definitely don't worry about using the sonic equipment right away, since it'll just add to the mana renewal, and you're probably already using 4x equipment, which is better than what your sonic equipment will be at first.

Don't forget telepathy lore, each rank is a couple extra seconds in addition to its other benefits but it adds up. Most people go for 25 ranks.

Good point... if the TP's are available, this is a good thing to invest in for sure.

I struggled low level with frying my nerves and juggling spells.
