2x AM, 4x insta mezz, speed6 +always endu on, better heals than mentalist and 2 AE rupters like hell could actually even a menta, it depends hard on the grp setup and players i think

(i loved to run 2 bard setup with marialea like we did some in agramon -> always blanket mezz on enemys )

Sorry I forgot to point out that 2nd bard is a waste if your 1st bard is competent.

your facing, SoS, and mids on spd 6 with instas....

2nd bard helps a ton, ments have little dps without a chanter in the group, they are a waste of a class imo...believe me I have one, and rerolled an eld lol. waste may be harsh, but I dont like classes they rely on others to be effective...and the other hib casters have much more utility

CC wins in OF, spd 6, 2 instas and another moc AE interrupts > a ment

you dont need the dps of a ment (or lack there of) if their healers cant cast.

2nd bard is a complete waste with NF RA's yes...but with OF ras insta mez and initial interupts are so much more important. DPS will be easier to come by for hib grps than atm so its much more of just a straight CC battle.

But seriously:

1. Setup: Pure caster: Bard druid druid ench ench eld eld menta
Reasons for 2 enchs:
- 2 different simultaneous debuff assists possible (ench eld eld and ench menta)
- with only one ench all of your ranged damage suffers if that ench is rupted due to no heat debuff being casted.
- baod is kinda kickass.

Problem with that above setup: Pretty weak in defense against tankgroups.

Nice for: Defending stuff and farming casterzerg.


2. Setup: Hybrid caster: Bard druid druid hero hero ench eld eld
Role of the heros: Defending with slam or lw backstun and guard against tankgroups, slam healers, rupt and/or deal damage against caster groups



I think the 1. Setup could be quite devastating if you counter your weaknesses in defense vs tankgroups with the right RAs, yet it already needs many RA points to be spent into keyabilitys like moc, mana RAs and baod on the enchs, so that you need higher rr to play it successfully against tanks.
I dont think that being crowdcontrolled will be much of an issue, group purge and 2 demeszers + baod are really more than enough to counter meszes.
