Rager bards have a lot going for them, but it's not the easiest class to pk with. Arlian was much much better at it than I.
A couple things I picked up, which should pass the spoonfeeding filter.
1.) Fiend seems to have a ton of variables which affect it.
2.) You can't sleep a transplendant archon. In fact, if you do manage to sleep the conjie, the archon will go apeshit on you.
3.) Even though fiend is a kickass song, don't rely on it overmuch.
4.) Perfect Discern, Perfect Discern, Perfect Discern
Overall, I found a rager bard very.. odd to play. Bards aren't exactly the most overpowering class 1 on 1, and thus don't fit in well with the rager mytique. Still, in the instances where multiple ragers get together: raiding, defending, Hell, adding a bard to the mix is just ugly.
Final thought, 3 songs which are very handy, but hardly used. Dome, Tomb, Nightmare.
