Bah, Dants beat me to it. But yeah, Arcane Chorus 5 is pretty good for this purpose.

Can someone explain to me why the Harmonization line is favored over the Demoralization line for a raiding Troub. You might be able to argue that our debuffs might not make much of a difference to casters since their land rates are so high.....but certainly it has to be better than dumping a bunch of points into abilites that don't even affect raid MOB's.

It's because the Harmonizations end ability is uber and a lot better than a few hundred points of magical/mental mitigation.

It increases all temp buffs of your group by 10% and it also increases the speed of DoT's by 10%.

Does anyone have a good soloing spec they can post? I just started a Trouby and was thinking if I should get the buckler line going. /shrug

Honestly, the lines for soloing and the raiding one that is listed here aren't that different. Something like:

Agi 4-4-6-8
Sta 4-4-8-8
Wis 4-4-6-8-2

Would be great for soloing. You'll need to get quick at canceling your poison though if you choose it. It will help your dps quite a bit, but it will get you killed if it breaks mez at the wrong time.

Troub tree... I'd start with Sonics, then to Aria. The mezz and jesters increases are great, but you obviously don't get wither spell until 50 and 65, respctively.

If there are 2 troubs in raid you dont need both arcane and
elemental tempo. Just split buffs between troubs and spend 5 AAs somewhere else.

this is a brilliant idea. spec stamina line and get yourself a good buckler.
let me know how it works out for you.

[Paikis]

You'd be surprised how many people can't read. I see bards running around with bucklers all the damned time.
