So I am leveling my bard, i play casually so i'm usually no bueno to anyone unless they just want an endo bot. been wondering what my best options for speccing are. currently at 15 i am specced:

13nurt
7reg
7music
6blades

i originally was doing full nurt rest reg for grouping but after i concluded i suck at grouping with my play schedule/random afk's, i needed to be able to solo. so i specced up blades to get the taunt style so far and i style bout as hard as i auto attack so its a moot point. gonna get a new blade and see if it improves anything but 0_o seriously, is that all i can plan on hitting for and should just do full nurt/music to keep the dd up to par for all my damage?

any bard speccing advice for leveling will be much appreciated. i will respec at 20 one of the lines to get my points less spread out, probably drop reg fully till a higher level?

Go Nurture at your level until the lvl 43 (to get songs asap).
Then, go regen 9 minimum (to cure disease/poison).
Then, put some points in music (to get dd/mezz to have fun in BG's).

At level 20, I advice:
20 nurt
9 regen
9 music
2 blade

At level 35 (for braemar):
35 nurt
14 regen
19 music
2 blade

At level 43 (for wilton):
43 nurt
14 regen
29 music (first insta mezz)
2 blade

At level 49 (for thidranki):
43 nurt
16 regen
44 music
2 blade

At level 50:
43 nurt
16 regen
47 music
5 blade

It's my only advice. You do what you want ^^

Bard weapon skill is complete junk. Even when you spec into it, your dmg is always going to be sub-par. If you plan on solo'n, but want to play a support class, I'd recommend a druid.

only soloing i'm doing is for xp. i DO NOT plan on battle barding at least until i have RR under the belt and then only for fun.

so as far as getting xp, i do not want to be tethered to another player, which is why i've put a bit into blades to get a taunt style, which was a waste of points. i might get an extra 1-2 dmg per swing so i've been upping music to get the lvl 12 dd, then i'm gonna dump everything into nurt for the next level of endo, and respec out of the weapon at 20 and just go with auto attacks.

Are you sure ? It's not 35 Nurture / 11 Regen / 21 Music ?
According to Nixian Charbuilder, there's nothin at 19 Music, and 14 regen instead of 11 just give u a better heal song.

And for wilton, at 43.5, u can go up to 16 regen.

Yes maybe I don't look at spells at this level, only trying to improve regen skill to improve heal capacity ^^
