Folks, I am an old school bard from back in the GSIII day and have recently returned to the lands. I have been hearing a lot about pur bard builds and I am interested in going this route.
I am from the old school where there was only one way to train a bard, 1 hand edge and max minor elemental as no bard songs existed at the time. I am currently 39th level and have a few fixskills banked.
Here is my build plan:
Armor Use: 35 Ranks
Shield Use: 82 Ranks
Brawling: 41 ranks
Physical Fitness: 23 ranks (max HP)
Climbing: 10 ranks
Harness Power: 41 ranks
Mental Mana Control: 24 ranks
Minor Elemental Spell Research: 30 ranks
Bard Spell Research: 35 ranks
Air Elemental Lore: 20 ranks
Manipulation Mental Lore: 41 ranks
STR: 46 (69)
CON: 55 (70)
DEX: 50 (71)
AGIL: 80 (91)
DIS: 50 (60)
AUR: 87 (100)
LOG: 70 (75)
INT: 70 (78)
WIS: 70 (82)
INF: 82 (100)
Following are my questions:
1. Could the experienced pure bards critique the above build for maximum solo hunting effectiveness at level 39. I will be receiving buffs from a ranger and a wizard for all hunts (friends account).
2. How to I maximize my CT (stats, skills, items, etc) for Song of Disruption deadliness
3. Where can I get a 1 handed instrument? Does quality matter?
Thanks for everyone's help.
