<p>Hello all</p><p>I have been all over the trouby boards (here and eq2 flames) and have found many great suggestions for the bard and trouby aa specs but cant seem to find anything on a suggested tso spec. Maybe im just blind or missed something but any suggestions on a good tso spec would be greatly appriciated</p><p>Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions</p><p>BTW 80 trouby just hit 200 aa</p>

<p>Are the AA's for the enhancements to the troubadors buffs worth the AA's or should I concentrate on buffing up my CA's and spells?</p>

<p> This is my AA setup there are variations you can have.  I've been too lazy tbh to respect out of the ones that are not optimal.  It has not hurt my parse or my effectiveness so I can't be bothered...well till I find a valid reason and not just status quo.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Scout</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Strengthened Links 5  (more mitigation for your squishy mages)</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Quick Strike 5</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Evasive Maneuvers 1</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">General</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Hearty Constitution 5  (TSO is all about surviving AEs)</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Enhanced Mind 5 (watch this one for % power drain mobs)</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Bard</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Shrieking Cry 5</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Flanking Chorus 5</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Selo's Rousing 1 (just for fun, not a good spot for this)</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Intoxicating Notes 5</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Dexterous Sonata 1</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Troubador</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Demoralizing Chorus 3 (waste of AA here but with all the enounter based raids the little extra to your DoT is nice)</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Harbringer's Chorus 5</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Master of Ceremonies 5</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Court Jester 5</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Lyrical Mastery 1</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Upbeat Tempo 1</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Buffs, theres always buffs. Unless your raid is woefully geared Song of Magic is not a good buff to run, you should be running your defensive buff with AA spent in it instead.  Saying that I usually have one concentration slot open and I use that to choose whether to run our miserable power regen song, SoM, RoR, or Arcane/Elemental buff/ward.  Another words whatever "might" be useful on that encounter.  If I need to put up a buff for this fight and out of concentation slots, Str/Sta is first to go.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Do not waste points in Offensive Prowess as it only affects Song of Magic.  If you're looking to boost your Offensive skills get Rythmblade from the Bard tree.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I rarely ever run RoR, RoR is only effective* against "spell based attacks" most of TSO massive (read raid wipers) AE are Melee based trauma or Focus damage.  Another factor to take into consideration is damage shield pots, food, drink, and some equipment.  RoR will reflect a percentage of the small DoTs (in my experiance its always the small det and never a larger hit..why) thus lowering the effectiveness of these items.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Hope this helps.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">O</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p>
