Another tip for mana cycle still has it's use in group pvp. Mana cycle can be cast on anyone outside your party, including the other parties bard, who would then be unable to use Mana Orbit. If for example I was to cast it on Guardia, he would be unable to use mana orbit until he cancelled my mana cycle. While this actual action takes very little time, that is taking into account that it's noticed in amongst the buffs and in the chaos of battle that the mana orbit hasn't been cast. That delay can be enough for the cleric or wizzies mana to drop, even with pots for say a cleric that spams healing to run out of mana and not be able to heal. This is not a game turner, but it is a use for mana cycle outside the normal realms and the lvl doesn't have to be that high for this to work.

Yup, same goes to casting low lvl healing cycle on the enemy cleric so the cleric cannot spam healing orbit. :D

I dont really know the bard skill tree well.

I'm considering getting the attacks, the tambours+march, the dances, and the cycles/orbit. Is that enough to party + a bit of pvp?

Thx for u help Guardianoop

Just get the 4 skills I told you and you can even run around with a lvl 1 harp. They are a good complement to your wizard mastery.

Hey Guys,
I recently started to make a bard/Cleric in Venus with a couple of friends. Now we are wondering why my lvl 20 Guard Tambour isnt castable? I try to cast it, It fails after 2 seconds. No matter where I am, in town, out of town, in Party, while lvling. Now I am really confused, because the Guard Tambour is one of the most promising skills - for this reason I have made a bard. Now I see it doesnt work at all, what to do now mates?
Why is this skill buggy?

Don't spam the skill, just click it one time. It's the same thing as fire wall.

Of cause, I just clicked onece. Could it be, that it just turns on again after waiting 20 seconds right after the last fight?
Its really crappy, if this skill dont work!

*Doublepost*
Hey thank you - indeed my fault, it works wonderfull now, thank you very much, it was the stupid skill spam ;)
Just another question: I was wondering if the Hit march do help? - i know it does but is it worth to cast while soloing or partying, do I notice the DMG plus out of the higher Hit Ratio??? That would be really interessting.
Furthermore, how could I understand the "dancing of healing" and the "dancing of mana"? Is it worth to skill or even to cast? IMO DMG + is more effecting while leveling isnt it?
Thank you previously

Hit march does help, but in the higher lvls. At the higher lvls your dmg range will be slightly more than at low lvl. So Hit March should help you there. Tho I prefer the Guard or Mana Tambour.

i think dance of healing is worth it. If you notice your cleric having trouble healing everyone fast enough although he's spamming heals. you might wanna switch over to dance of healing. No point having everyone hit hard when they end up dead.

Off topic, but I very much appreciate bard's fast cast every time I ks someone named "hshfhfhhl" or "askfjdjdjd" or "lslslslskeke". Sometimes I spend an hour ks'ing goldbots.
If faith is a crutch, I'm not limping anymore.
