Bard Questions

[xeric]

I have a few questions about bard I would like answered 1. Does Selo's ever get any faster than 22%? 2. Can bards kite? 3. Is the bard generally anything like it was in eq? I would really appreciate it if someone could get back to me, Thanks.

<p>You can also get some more run speed from the Harbringer (wisdom line) in the bard KoS AAs.</p><p>If by bard you mean troubador, then yes you can kite. Especially when you hit lv 50 and have a mez incase the snare breaks. The mental debuff mentioned earlier also throws a snare on the target, but the snare portion can be broken prior to the resist portion dropping off.</p><p>To my understanding, the closest thing to twisting from my understanding is Jesters Cap. (Note i didnt play eq1 long enough to know anything about bards)</p>
