Question: Can I go to GM simply by area peacing?
Answer: Yes,Area peacing will take you to 120
How: Use Skill, Target self (Repeat XXXXXXX times)

A disco mage/bard w/ peace is very handy, as is full bard w/ magery. YOu would also be doing max damage with firehorn ( gret for small critters mobbing you).
You would use earth ele's or EV to take down critters. I like tamer better, but this is a mite better at champ spawns, as you do not have to worry about pets attacking things you do not wish them to, AND you have a fighting chance against reds.

120 music/peace/disco
120 mage
120 eval
120 med

First off. Congrats on the skill gain. It can/does get boring .

Provo:
If a mob has you agro'd target him first and then a second mob. If you succeed he will forget about fighting you (as long as you don't stand right next to him) and attack the second target.

Peace:
Area peace will stop all fighting/agro'd for a few seconds. Then the mobs will aquire a target.
Target peace will stop only the one mob but for a longer periond then area. If the mod doesn't take any damage it will last even a little bit longer.

Music:
At 100 music you will never fail the music check. Anything above that gives you an add boost to success of the other barding skill.

Vepl

you shouldn't train music past 100 until you get other bard skills where you want them. it would be harder to train the other skills with 120 music already. i have several legendary bards scattered across 4 shards with just about every template combination. my favorite bard skill is provoke, like vepl said, "Provo'ing two AW's onto each other is still a great feeling". provo seems to be of greater use in doom. my atlantic bard almost never dies in doom with provo cause he can avoid being targeted pretty easily. on the other hand, my LA bard disco/archer is always good for a few deaths from dark father because he gets targeted all the time.

every 2 points in music over 100 is like 1 bonus point in the other bard skills. the higher your skill the slower the gains. it may not make that much difference but with music being one of the fastest skills to raise it will save you some time to complete the template.

at 100 you will never fail the music check. they had to have some reason for you to use music scrolls and that was really the only way.
