Are you using Consumption of Spirit (beastlord version of canni)?

Yeah, it's attached to my spam key. problem is I can't spam fpos. I'm a bit lazy. What hotkey do you use to target yourself, hit fpos, then back to target? I have random ping issues (usually between 300-800 ping) since I live in the backwaters of Australia. If I get lucky I'm in low 300's, but that's rare.

As for using it during downtime, I don't get a lot of playtime so I don't like having downtime.

My advice would be to stop using DoTs and go with the 5 nuke setup:

Kromtus Lance or Kromtus Roar (Timer 11)
Kreig's Bite (Timer 6)
Frozen Miasma (Timer 14)
Visoracius' Maelstrom (Timer 15)
99 Kromrif Lance (Timer 7)

Put those on one hot key and try to keep all the spells on cool down.

Also, you can't put DoTs on a spam key or you will run yourself out of mana.

Don't feel bad...

The number of times I have pulled with buffs loaded...

The number of times I have started pulling (often a named) without a healer merc up...

Forgetting I have a DoT loaded in the slot I normally have slow and trying to slow a mob...

Fun times...

New poster, and I wanted to start out by saying thanks for all this info.  It's great to have a resource like this to learn how to play a class.  I like to learn all the ins and outs of a class (ENC by trade), so this stuff is great.

Tunic with Revitalizing Topor clickie
Miniature Horn of Unity on all three toons (another good click on named)
Bard mana song

Heya Eriadoc :) They are AA abilities. Focused Paragon of Spirits and Paragon of Spirits. HP/Mana/End regen. The focused is a single target one that recycles pretty quickly when your aa's in them are maxed out, and para is a group spell that has a much longer re-use, but heals/regens a lot more.

When we're doing our best to do our job (which is mainly DPS) we're casting a lot of spells as they refresh. Mainly DD's, cause they form a large part of our damage. Mana recovery is pretty important, cause we can chew through a mana bar pretty damn fast.
