Just trying to find out if any of the bard rituals can be casted together? Or is it only one ritual up at a time?

Personally I recommend Echo for the Attunement boost. Since I'm always finding myself short of mana, it seemed like a good way to go.
I also use Will for the Discipline boost to help with hiding sometimes, or if I really want to tear through things with TM. This can come in handy if I'm in over my head, as the constant stuns/damage from Pyre will tend to even the playing field.

>Ok, then in the same line of questioning...whats our best ritual to use while in normal hunting?
It depends.
Personally I use ECHO since I find the attunement buff useful and when I get around to training sorcery would probably find that buff useful as well.
The only other one I use is WILL. The discipline buff is great and I love the cold damage change.
I can see using WORD in the future if bardic lore gets developed and I'm using mojo more often.
If I PVPed I would think SOUL would be nice to get the charisma buff to land debils better.

They will overwrite one another. The release restriction is almost entirely to support the messaging to transition between them :P

It's going to depend on your situation. I use ECHO because I train sorcery and burn a lot of mana in combat, and the int boost makes my TM hit harder. WILL could be helpful if you're having trouble hitting with your TM or need help casting at higher mana, and the Disc boost helps with stealth training. SOUL soul could help if you want to get more mana into your buff spells.
As things currently stand, I can't really see an argument for using WORD.

I actually really like WORD. I tend to use it very often during prolonged hunting sessions, when I don't plan on leaving combat to move performance, or if I think I'll need to use defiance a lot. It's not the most efficient for training purposes, but it fits my interests.

Do you find that the base mojo regeneration isn't enough in these situations? I've been using Bluff Amaze* a lot recently without any thought to mojo, and I've never had an issue.
* Stacks with SOUL in the best possible way. +38% charisma.

It's becoming less of an issue as I gain more bardic lore (either from infrequent use or the skill helping - not sure which), but I was definitely having problems around the 150-200 bardic lore ranks due to liberal use of whistle piercing and scream defiance. Even at 400 ranks, I can run out of mojo if I ignore my instrument for too long.

Fair enough. My situation is that performance vastly out paces my combats. I'm not really worried about it for circling purposes, and I'm pretty bad about not chasing TDPs. It's admittedly niche, but it works for me.

>Ah I guess thats why we have a different focus. For me its the limiting factor in my circling.
Me too - the closer Performance is relative to your combats, the better Scream Concuss trains, I thought? I was doing it once per critter and seeing it move along pretty well, with Performance at about 310, and combats at about 260 or so. Isn't the Performance experienced gained a function of how difficult the critter is relative to the skill, i.e, 300 Performance won't train on rats, but will train on gryphons?

>>That's a good way to train BL. They're looking to train Performance.
Wow, I missed that. I had no idea it trained Performance. Interesting, I might have to try it.
You could also train Performance "in combat" by using Sanctuary to keep the creatures away for a short time. You won't learn defenses that way but you will get to keep your room.
