A Bard bot using Lua.
This script automates a level 120 Bard in a group setting. It expects to find all spells and AAs and such that it needs to run.
Depending on what you are making, it can be a good idea to include screenshots or even a video (you'll frequently see GIFs rather than actual videos). Tools like ttygif can help, but check out Asciinema for a more sophisticated method.
Download bardbot.lua to your mq/lua folder.
Start the script with /lua run bardbot.

What all bard bot does: 0. Refreshes selos often when not invis or paused
- Keeps you in your camp if assist mode is set
- Keeps up with your chase target if chase mode is set
- Check for surrounding mobs
- AE mez if enabled and >= 3 mobs around
- Single mez if enabled and >= 2 mobs around
- Assist MA if assist conditions are met (mob in range, at or below assist %, target switching on or not currently engaged)
- Send swarm pets
- Find the next best song to use
- alliance
- insult synergy
- regular spell set order
- Engage burns if burn conditions met
- Use mana recovery stuff if low mana/end
Spell bar ordering can be adjusted by rearranging things in the "check_spell_set" function.
Other things to note:
- Drops target if MA targets themself.
- Does not break invis in any mode.
Burn Conditions:
- Burn Always: Use burns as they are available. Attempt at least some synergy for twincast -- only twincast if spire and hand of death are ready
- Burn Named: Burn on anything with Target.Named == true
- Burn Count: Burn once X # of mobs are in camp
- Burn Pct: Burn anything below a certain % HP
