Bard and group stamina issue

[militarebear]

I'm having problems with my stamina of all my groupmates when I run with my bard. The stamina will fade away from all my members, magic casters and fighters alike. I am assuming this is an EQ problem but I don't know. When I run the same group (minus the bard) or have the bard out of group and just playing heal/mana stuff, I have no stamina problems. Has anyone else noticed this or am I doing something wrong? Thanx ))
Respectfully,

Since he answered you, off topic thought:

Your song line up is.. terrible. That is a gross misuse of a bard. I dont even know what the rest of the group is but, at a minimum for any group you really should be doing:

Aria of the _______ (Orator line) + damage all around
War March of __________ (Illdaera line, if not an all wizard/druid group) + melee/pet damage and damage shield
Arcane ______ (Address line) + proc damage on hits and spells
Aura of ______ (Lunanyn line) + end/mana/hp regen

+1 more song depending on group make up.

Pulse of _____ - good for regen/mana/end
(Fire based) _____ Aria - if running wizard/druid/mage heavy group
____ Song of Suffering - good for proc based damage with melee/pets

Then you should probably have AE mez on there, even if you have an enc, because it makes for super easy pulling/splitting/add control.

Songs I twist:

1. War March of Illdaera
2. Aria of the Orator
3. Terasal's Spry Sonata
4. Arcane Address
5. Hykast's Spireful Lyric (Have all but Tank block this)
Note: This is an aggro boosting song. Increases AC.
6. Hykast's Song of Suffering (Have tank block this)
Note: This is an aggro reducing song. Has a DD proc.

Named:

AA: A Tune Stuck in your Head
7. Chorus of Lunanyn
8. Hykast's Insult
Note: DD Nuke

The song alleviating accelerendo is broken, it doesnt do anything as of right now except take tons of STA from your entire group, stop playing that song and your problem is fixed.

Doesn't your bard have Mneumonic Retention?

Yes

I'm just saying. These are the songs I twist.

 

[hawthorne]

Gotcha. So what do you have in your other 4 slots?

 

[wwarwolf911]

Mez
AoE Mez
Pacify

and use 12 to switch in and out:
Highsun
Aura
Snare (if no snare)
Slow (if no slower)

OK, my lineup of songs is shitty...but what is causing the depletion of stamina from the rest of the group? And, in my defense, I don't play a bard often, usually in a static grouping. )) Sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone. ))

Thanx, I guess I missed that post. I saw Tyrantp's post but thot he had edited it as I didn't see any discussion and I didn't see Bard2005 as I'm guessing I slid up when I was using my mouse to scan down the page. Thanx for helping me out. ))) And thanx for the rest of you bard aficionados that helped my bard become better. ))
