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.

I just picked up a faster cast item for my necro and wont be able to use it soon, I was wondering if a bard can use it so they can cast their songs faster since they are like spells. Does this work?

Unfortunately Improved CastTime item's do not work for bards, in fact no focus effect items work for bards. This seems unfair untill you realise that instruments fulfill this role for bards. So where dot casters can get an Burning Affliction 4/Afliction Efficiency and so on, Bards can get drums, which do more for us than any focus effect.

Hope this helps.
