Bard Endgame

What is best way to use your self buffs? Other than saving Blood for Blood to always be used alongside Hawk's Eye, do you just spam buffs whenever they are off cooldown? Also thinking I might let all buffs come off cooldown if adds will be spawning in a fight soon (only lvl 30 right now).

Once you get the River of Blood trait you should be using internal release as much as as you can in conjunction with venomous bite/windbite.

This, I have Internal Release in my WB/VB macros, so I always pop it if it's up. Otherwise, I just fire them off as they come up unless mobs are about to die. For bosses, I fire everything off at the start, with Quelling and shred, then fire things off as they come up.

I also have Barrage at the bottom of my Heavy Shot macro, so when it comes up, if I'm not hitting ME, BL or HS, it goes off. Something else I started doing was actually using Repelling shot, I never bothered but I added that recently, just a little extra dmg not on the gcd. Obviously, if I have to stick in one spot for w/e reason, I don't use it. (Guy I partied with almost repelled himself off the side on Demon Wall, lol)

I never thought about doing that, but it's a good way to make sure it gets used. On a related note I'm going to put Internal Release in my Venomous Bite macro so I don't have to worry about triggering it manually.

haha i've RPS'd straight off the edge of demon wall before. it's awesome and sad and funny at the same time.

but definitely: use rps and get that extra dmg in. same with blunt arrow when there's nothing to silence.
