Bards in lvl50-60 Ballista events
Me and a friend of mine would like to start duoing bards in ballista events. I searched the forums but really havent found anytyhing that is quite what i am looking for.

So any bards who have played in the 50 and 60 ballista events? if so what equipment? what role(s)?

Anyone who has fought against a bard? Things you hated? How you defeated them?

Thanks.

For 60 I just went with af gear. 60 cap as brd plays much like 75 except the melees don't kill you quite as fast.

Re: Bards in lvl50-60 Ballista events
What do BRDs do in Ballista? just stand around with the mages?

Because i heard that all that BRDs mostly do in Ballista is follow around with the mages and

using Mage's Ballad.

Re: Bards in lvl50-60 Ballista events
A BRD's main asset in Ballista was Horde Lullaby. Early on, a BRD was something to be feared.

But I have to say, BRD usefulness in Ballista has gone way down since poison potions became a common item, and sleep spells were gimped.

Rise of the Zilart: Complete
Chains of Promathia: Complete
75 BRD/75 WHM/75 BLM/75 MNK/75 RDM/57 DRK/40 THF/39 WAR/37 NIN & SMN/All the rest < 37

What to level next? (DRK!)

Re: Bards in lvl50-60 Ballista events
i am not a bard lmao its at 20 atm but my good friend is a lvl 60 bard and i have been trying to drag him into ballista i did get him in dioramis or erm how ever its spelled. horde works wonders and he buffed me when i spotted another melee and then came into the fight after monk attacked me. bards still play a simlar role to exp pts but still he had fun and i mean brds in a 1v1 dont stand a chance in 60 cap or b4 but hell let me know how it goes please
