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.

Can anyone tell me about intimidation please? I click it EVERY time it pops up but no skill ups. My bard is level 47 and intimidation is 1/160. Please help.

I know for one that intimidation takes a very long time to skill up. But I also know that after a certain level it started going up fairly quickly (in a relative manner---meaning: not necessarily quickLY but quickER). Approximately how many times have you clicked it without a skill-up? Try spending 5 training points when you reach level 48 (assuming you don't have any spare points) to "kickstart" it. Failing that, maybe it's bugged. Either way it's bizarre. On my Rogue it was as you describe; but on my Monk it went up a lot faster.

ETA: Isn't Bard intimidation called "Instill Doubt"? Never played a Bard. Maybe that is a factor; or maybe I'm wrong and they changed it to Intimidation.
