Hi folks,
I am playing a bard through wotw as the title suggests. We just hit level 5 and am seeking spell advice without too many spoilers.
I have read the bard guides but I can't help but wonder at this point in the campaign if some of the orange/red spells may become green/blue?
The regulars always help like haste and a few compulsions, cacophonous call etc. But I was wondering about more long terms subtler ones like lesser geas or malicious spite, beguiling gift? You know, the less combatty ones. Yes I know combatty is not a word.
Without giving to much away, am I right in my thinking these may be more valuable than in other AP's?
What are peoples thoughts on this?
Thanks for the input, if any.

Man I hate it when I do not explain myself properly the first time. My apologies.
First off, I totally agree, guides should not be black and white texts.
I want to clarify that I do not wish to prove a guide right or wrong and I definitely do not want a shopping list of spells to take.
I guess what I'm wondering is this...here we are at level 5. It's been about 20% combat/80% RP? Is this a consistent theme in this AP? Are some of those more subtle spells more useful? At this point my answer is yes. But I also do not want to be a non contributor in combat apart from inspre courage.
