I just created a bard; I found them fun back in the day. I'm wondering how they fit in to the Imperium buff scenario, though.
I assume that damage songs and healing songs benefit from spell damage and healing bonuses on items, is that correct?
For other songs like resist, are those similarly buffed or are they normal? Do instruments have a larger effect? What other changes are there?
The bard bot of my boxed toon might be bugged as its songs seem to affect my main when grouped regardless of the distance between us (whole-zone even it seems). When playing an actual bard, my songs don't have much range, which is what I expected. Has anyone else experienced this? I don't think the bots get AAs but could that be causing it (seems unlikely)?

Can't be of much help here (sorry), but I can say that the bard bot songs are indeed zone-wide. Not sure if it's intended or not. I know that the bard damage songs are boosted, although I'm not sure to what degree. I only have a level 55 Bard that I sometimes mess around with so =\

Well, bards work on on Imperium for most cases. For most of the game we pretty much just stick to AE DOT songs since it's the most effective until u get into the custom zones. AE DOT songs aren't critting anymore since the server was brought back up a month and half or so ago, which has been a bummer. Most songs are exactly the same as live, so no real change there. Once u get into custom zones though...U can kite...but it's not that efficient cause the damage is too low, so best choice is to go tanky as possible with AE slow song and melee it all to death. Kinda sad but it's faster... I know the GMs were considering a strong DOT for us as a custom spell...but truthfully I don't know how much that would help at the moment, since survivability is more important than the damage. Though Bard is pretty much all i play so i deal with it.
EDIT: Also I refuse to use my own bots. Bard is hard enough to pay attention too anyways LOL As for your questions... Spell damage does effect our DOTs and Nukes, Healing so far I can't see any difference... Resist Songs- No real point unless they have a damage shield on them, by time u're in Planes of Power Your resists should be high enough to just say "Whatever" Instuments - Same effect as on live from what i can tell
