Music is nice...but

[TheBlueFox]

The bard music is nice, I love it. but as a CC/buff support, what arcane spells should I take? Charm monster, Hypnotize, Remove Fear. Heroism, heal moderate...whats a good repertoire of spells to have on hand?

Oh, and does Heroism stack with Good hope?

In reference to Heroism and Good Hope stacking, check the Stacking Buffs thread I just bumped in this forum. As for your CC spells, the best ones will vary depending on your level. Heroism is nice until you get Good Hope. Charm and Suggestion spells are also very useful. The best buffs other than Good Hope in the mid levels are Blur, Displacement, and Haste, once you have access to those. I also use Hypnotism a great deal. I tend to do most curing from wands personally, but the spells can be useful as well.

Yep, you have the right idea.

Alternatively, you can be a battlebard, who justs sings, and then wades into melee coupled with self-buffs, and limited self healing. My THF WarforgedChanter Battlebard is my favorite character to play.
