High level pulling as a bard.Follow

I'm looking for some advice on how to pull some of the higher end zones such as RSS. I am a level 70 Bard with almost all songs up to 69. So without mezz or a lull that will work on these mobs, what are some strategies on how to pull singles?

I know we have many tools with which to pull but I am having trouble without having a lull or mezz to help.

Thanks in advance!

Fading Memories AA at level 63.
I do not know the details because I am a Monk but it is the one skill that makes FD pulling a joke.

Be very careful about openly saying you are a level 70 Bard and do not know about Fading Memories...

Just like the old witch hunts, you will be accused of being a Monster Mission levelled gimp.

Go to Eqdiva.com. There are several discussions on pulling and different methods for doing it.

I too am a level 70 bard with no upper level mezz. My problem has not been the pulls but wandering adds that I cannot mezz. The best I can do is kite them or train them away from my group and fade them off.

Heh heh Reyla. What a time to post this after the double xp MM insanity last week. Fortunately I did level up Discorde without too many MMs. Wow, I can't imagine a 70 bard who didn't know about Fade. That would be very sad. I do know of ways to pull with it, but at 900 mana a shot, chain pulling difficult splits would put me OOM quickly. I'm at 15 FT with no AAs invested into mana regen yet, so I am regening 18 mana per tick. This works out to exactly 5 minutes to regen the mana per fade. I am wondering if this will be sufficient to pull in RSS or are most pulls not needing a fade to get singles.

Also the only strategy that seems workable without a lull or mezz is snare, pull the add away, and fade off the snared mob. My mana pool is only about 5600 with C6. It would be great if anyone has any other techniques for these situations.

I appreciate any other advice you can to help me out with this. I go to EQdiva.com and the concert hall forums frequently but didn't see this issue addressed.

Well I do not know alot about pulling as a bard, BUT I do know alot about hunting in RSS.. and at the 2 main camps people like.. (Statue and PRS) It is all about learning how to pull those camps.. 80% of the mobs can be singled pull by a paladin.. hehe.. I do it all the time.. The stairs camp does take a bard/monk, espcially to clear and get to nameds..

The cold side takes a very good bard to single pull and even than having an enchanter can come in handy..
