Classes: The Bard

Bards - the jack of all trades. Each level is a new song and a new way to play. Handy with a weapon and able to wear decent armor, bards can hold their own in a fight. Plus, the ability to twist two to three songs without using mana gives the bard a magical ability like no other class.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of the bard? Can they solo, and if so how? How should they best contribute to the group? What is the best strategy to develop your bard? What skills and songs are the most important for you to master? What equipment should you be trying to get for your bard.

Post your strategies on how to best play and develop the bard and read, rate and comment on what others have to say.

sounds like a good plan i lvled up in crush them went to pc and stayed there till 30 then i went to south karana to work on fear kiting and rathe mtns also. as far as armour i built up hitpoints by looking for armour that carried high hitpoints cause being able to chant and melee will make your bard kick ass. now instrument later get you a drum to help your chants hit for more damage. and never used my horn my lute i use some to help recover hitpoints faster but thats it.

Making a bard isn't as easy as it sounds or you would think. Look at it like this. the Higher your sining is the Better you will mez, the Better Your BRASS a.k.a Horn the better you will slow. there is a song that we have (i think War March)its a haste song and that requires wind. the Higher your Wind a.k.a Flute will incress the haste and DS it gives off. As for the Lute. Your healing Chanta and/or Chours runs off the Lute. the Higher the lute the higher your regen will be. Now ALL these can be gotten With augs, Fastfinger from DoN +18-19 to string etc. And gear example the relic ring has a +20 wind mod on it. Bards ARE fun but fustrating at lower lvs. Stick with it. We ARE the best pullers in game.
