Next up - all Bard Shroud?

[Cedrica-the-Bard]

OK, so here's the thing. I LOVE to play. I LOVE to PUG. I love to JOIN groups. But I hate CREATING them .

However, as I read about the various "All *inset class here* Shroud runs", I just keep thinking we need an all Bard one.

I don't suppose I could pass the buck to some willing leader to coordinate something like that? (You NSR folks seem to know your way around this sort of thing, how 'bout it? )

And we could even include a Bard to keep peeps hasted?

Anyway, maybe such a thing would make the Shroud too easy, I dunno . But boy would I love to be in on that run!

So, if anyone decides to take the wheel and coordinate this, I'd be most grateful. If not, I will take a couple of hours Saturday evening to prepare myself to actually put an LFM up around 9:00 pm EST. (I really hate putting groups together...)

Obviously, being Bards, the rules prevent ANY other class from joining. I think the minimum Bard level for a multi-class should be, say 9 Bard levels/7 other, but no more than that. In other words, have a Bard icon by your name. It would be nice to have a mix of Spellsingers/Warchanters/Virtuosos (are there even any out there???). It would also be good to have at least one member with some rogue skills for the lock picking in Part 3. Other than that, stocking up on scrolls would be in order (please don't forget the Fire Shield scrolls! They're awesome!)

OK, so there you have it. Currently looking for someone to lead this merry adventure, if nobody does I will force myself to, I'll even use voice chat, sigh. (So, I'll warn you now, I'm not a guy and I've been known to swear on occasion, not quite Turet's like swearing, but close. )

Cheers.

OK, edit time. I see the All Monk Shroud is set for tomorrow at 9:00 pm EST (if only I could read...). And since I don't want to infringe, I will leave the date open as "some future date to be determined". Besides, there may not even be enough interest for all I know. OR we could do it at the same time as the Monk one and see who completes first??? jk

EDIT #2: I will post the LFM at 9:00 pm EST, Saturday July 26th and see if it fills up.

EDIT #3: Since it looks like I'm gonna be running this thing, I'm allowing for one small rule change: I am willing to take a pure level 16 Pally with us. (I have my reasons plus we share Charisma in common...). And it seems all these types of Raids allow for ONE of another class (usually Bards, go figure) so I've decided to pick Pally for the odd one out here. If one doesn't join, no biggie, we can go without.

FINAL EDIT: Rescheduled for next Saturday, will put LFM up at 8:00 pm EST. See you then!

Heya Cedrica

I love these all *insert class here* raids... much fun! If I am around when you run this (the timezone thing messes me up sometimes) and you have room for my non battle kinda healing specced spell singer bard, count me in! I will try to keep her off timer for this weekend

Unfortunately I don't like leading these things anymore than you do... lol will see if I can twist some guildies arms

I'm sure there will be room. Which of your toons is the Bard? My main Bard (Cedrica) is also a healing specced Spellsinger, but I also have a Warchanter if we need to mix it up. I imagine 3-4 healing specced Bards would be plenty. And if yours is anything like mine, we can Range pretty well with transmuting bows/throwing weapons (the song damage is sweet even for weaking Bards ) when we aren't healing.

fascinating!

If you keep the "barb" requirement to "must have a bard icon" then I don't see why this isn't possible, we've got some pretty great Bardbarians on the server. Let the battle bards do the fighting, the healing specced ones keep red bars full and the CC specced ones keep everything controlled.

Yeah, that's true. Will fix, thanks.

If I'm around I'll go with my Warchanter, and I'd guess NSR will probably have a few others interested. I'll be off timer again tomorrow night, and if you decide on a different time I'll do my best to stay off timer until then.

I'll put the LFM up at 9:00 EST, Saturday the 26th. The only problem would be if one of the peeps doing the all Monk run also has a Bard they'd like to take on the all Bard run. But, what are the chances of that? Good? Bad? Won't know til then I guess.

lol, I see you have a Bard! D'oh. Well, maybe we Bards can hang out for a while and have drinks til you monks finish cleaning up in the Shroud and then you can come too.

[Kirris]

... Which of your toons is the Bard?

Finale is my Bard I will try to be online for this

[Oxvon]

hah would be funny seeing 12 bards play songs at the same time

[Necro_Jill]

If your willing to change the exception from pali to say... rogue I'ld join and even put group together for ya. Besides Bards/Rogues we're all shady anyhow.

lol, we'll see. Honestly, the only reason I picked Pally was Death Ward and Resists . And maybe a wee little bit of Aura assistance. For now I'm gonna stick with that. If we don't get a Pally and can't find a Bard with some Rogue skills then you're in. I'm sure most peeps have at least one Visor of the Flesh Render Guard on them! And if there is a Bard in the group who can't use a level 11 resist wand, well, what can I say, that'd be just wrong...

Of course, with my luck, we'll get the Devil AND the Orthon in part 3... sigh.

So.. you know.. we sorcs are like bards.. with faster casting.. and more mana ... and hum... we had lutes fall on us when we were kids so we kinda lost the music thing... but... we have like this charisma thing going for us too... and...

Yeah ok, I didn't buy that either =)

Nice try tho! You need to put more skill points into Bluff, forget concentration!

I can bring my bard Loamax. I dont mind trying to lead it either, or even steer us in the right direction. We need at least 3 more competent bard tanks since we willl have no firewalls. I can manage the orthon or devil and crosses fingers for the orthon. I would also like to point out this wont be easy and there may be a need to blast through some heal scrolls. Also any protection wands would be a plus. I will bring enough resist, protect wands, and heal scrolls for myself and my dedicated healer for part 4 and 5. Thanks

Awesome, I'd love to have you along. I remember playing with you (vons maybe?) when you were leveling Loamax. Nice build there. Anyway, I can switch between Cedrica and Battledrums, he's a decent tank. As far as protection wands, my Bards haven't used those in ages, I find the Fire Shield (cold version) scrolls which I find far better. Just my personal opinion, but not having to worry about it for 40 seconds rather than having to re-apply protection everytime I get fireballed is just alot easier. Overall, I'd say it sucks up more fire damage. I use fire pro pots in emergencies, just easier than getting out the wand all the time.

Well, I can get the group together (i.e. put the LFM up) with your assistance. At this point, anyone reading the forums may recognize my name for this, but you can most certainly lead the quest when we are inside, I would appreciate that a bunch.

i'd love to join on my warchanter timmie but i'm gonna be in the monk run and will probably be too late for me to run another so if there is a next time count me in

Yeah the only problem for me anyway with fireshield scrolls it would depend if im raging and what rage I cast. Maybe I could see how the scrolls work (- the rages) I just dont want there to be a hp issue with me only having 350hps non raged. I have also been thinking of that nasty fire elemetal possible in part 2 as well. *note to self buy 100 fireshield scrolls* Thanks
