Has anyone in this forum ever soloed a Bard before? Coz I'm soloing one right now and I think it's impossible... Think about it, a Bard isn't good with weapons, and his magic skill isn't good either.... So I want to know if anyone has soloed one before, because I want to know if it is worth continuing.

A plain bard you mean ??
The Blade-kit is actually quite good for soloing, gets very powerfull in the long-run, .. and I'm pretty sure both skald and jester have been solo-ed too.
IIRC jester's a very hard kit to solo .. skald isnt too easy either.
But it has been done.

Hope it helpz [img]smile.gif[/img]

This might help,

?'s on playing a bard...

I do not have any links to specific Jester tactics, but I do know all the different Bard types have been soloed already. The primary tactic of the Jester was to go invisible and sing, causing the enemies to kill each other.

And how can one level up this way?
You don't get the XP for enemies killing each other...

Quest EXP I suppose. Also, a quick Magic Missile( then back to invisibility) when an enemy is Near Death will help.

What I find odd is when I set my Tank's AI to Agressive, and then he gets Dominated by Vampires. He's on their side, now, so they don't attack him, but his AI keeps telling him to kill them anyway. Don't they mind?

And no, you don't get EXP for the Vampires you kill while you're Dominated, which is why a Helm of Charm Protection is now standard-issue for the Grayeyard District.
