Bard tactics

Make sure to have your group stay near you while you're bard singing, you want everyone to have the buff otherwise the song is semi-wasted. - Raylek Winternight

Easiest way to suggest is to first cast invisibility on yourself then walk up to a mob and first play fascinate followed by suggestion on your choice of creature (undead and constructs when you have that ability). Then keep casting suggest on any creatures that are still fascinated. Good thing about playing songs is you can do it sneaking or/and while invisible. Wolves and drow can spot invisibility so just make sure you check the monster type before doing this. Fest Caenlyre--Tharashk server.

Try not to cast bless and good hope on top of each other not only do they not stack but the bless icon gets bugged and will "pop" nonstop until it the buff ends (Dragonhyde Karmster - Adar server).
