Max bard CS?

[Tgo01]

So how would I go about maximizing my bard CS? 75 ranks MnE and the rest bard base?

To my understanding, yeah. And figure out what stat goes into bard CS. I know for wizards it's aura, for some professions it's wisdom, don't know what it is for bards.

Edited to say: To fixstat if you need to, or buy enhancives.

[Tgo01]

All I read was you're giving me a fixstat potion tyrant. You're so kind.

Still 570k BP away from my own :( Need to stop fucking around with warcamps and do some bounties.

75 MnE, rest bard, max aura enhancives. That's it as far as I know unless you count rubbing a quartz orb. Now I find myself questioning though, is it 75 or 74 MnE ranks? I can't remember if it rounds up so 74 ranks give the maxed 425 bonus.

Believe 75. I've always had 75

Years ago it had been 74 for the bonus of targeting to round up, they did away with it and you need 75 for the full bonus. And as someone posted above aura is a bards CS stat as well. I suppose we could do this real quick.

300 for level 100
35 for stinky elf bonus
50 for targeting
23 for 75 MnE ranks
100 for bard ranks 1-100 at 1 per
15 for bard ranks 101-120 at .75 per
4 for bard ranks 121-127, at .5 per rounds up
527 total

I could be slightly off, you might get 24 instead of 23 from MnE ranks, but oh well.

Glad I wasn't just imagining the 74 ranks thing. Good to know.

Secondary circle bonus rounds up at 67 and 77. So moving to 77 MnE/125 Bard instead of 75 MnE/127 Bard will yield the same CS, but 1 extra DS/eTD.

Max CS for a bard should be 492 + AUR bonus.

I did not know that, I will have to go that route.

On the mark here as I had 517 as a half elf. I will try the 77 MNE 125 Bard song thing when I fixskill this year and I will know if that works too.

Why wait for fixskills? You can always migrate those spell ranks, it shouldn't take long and missing that 1 CS isn't going to kill you.

[Vagabondbard]

Not at 202 spells right now dropped spell ranks to max Multi ops. At 192 spells and fleshing out minor things before going back up to 202.
