Hi,

new troub posting here. This is probably old news for you veterans but didnt see it mentioned in this thread so might be usefull to someone who dont know.

Theres crafted lvl37 set called Harmonius blood mail that adds 8% for selos, gotta wear it when you cast selos so got it macroed

But I agree, bards speed in eq2 is pathetic.

Mellody

Still learning every day. Crafted? With special components? Cita set?

*want to have it*

More info appreciated! Thanks for the hint!

edit: found the items on lootdb.com but they seem to be normal mastercrafted without any effects or bonuses - the entries are from july 07 - did that change ?

it's the bard crafted set out of deathfist citadel.
you need a piece of blood iron ore for each. can be a bit pricey if you don't farm it yourself.

i didn't realize you guys didn't know about this...

you can equip it right before you cast selo's and it will bump it up to 52% (i only have 6 in selo's AAs). as soon as selo's starts casting, you can switch your regular gear back in. (i suggest making macros.) right before you zone, you can switch your blood mail back in and you'll have the extra 8% when you come across, then you can swap back.

also note that when a group member joins or runs out of then back into your selo's range it will check for the armor. so if you have 52 and you run far enough away from a friend and then come back into range without the armor on, it will only give them the 44% version.

anyway... i use it all the time. good stuff.
selo's + blood mail bonus + j boots + band of pure panic = 72%

Edit;

ah, Kyros got way more spesific details. nm this post.

Mellody

Hell thanks! Never bothered with the new citadel stuff - are those ores body or chest loot? would have to start twinking with my 35 zerker or assa again

I got a "Run" makro as well with the jboots+band and a "Fly" makro with those tinkered boots to jump further + fea cloak from EH. Nice to hit the macro when you realise "safe fall" would not realy be safe ;)

Now tell me the ores are bodyloot!

Why dont they give Troubadors another upgrade of Pathfinding.. Bards are ment to be the fastest class in game yet almost every class is faster then them.. even brigand. whats up with that.. and our Pathfinding stoped at level 50 or so..

Paikis

What's Pathfinding?

Upgrade Selo's! (final upgrade is at 55 atm)

or.... they could take pathfinding out of the runspeed buff line and make it stack.
