New to bard and have some questions?

My advice on Barrage if you Empureal arrow is on CD is to wait that it comes out of CD.
There will be a difference of 240 potency damage between a Barrage Heavy shot and a Barrage empyreal arrow. Even if your Raging strikes will end before your Empyreal arrow is back up since even if the 20% damage buff is good, it would require a 55%~ damage buff on Barrage Heavy shoto to be the equivalent of a non buffed Barrage Empyreal.
Moral of the story, never use Barrage with anything else then Empyreal Arrow.

The question was for levels 38 through 53 sync.



In re: Foe Requiem, even if the only magic user is the healer, it's a good idea to use it. Competent healers won't need a ballad unless more than one raise has been cast; if there have been 0 or 1 raises and MP is near zero, the healer let it get that low on purpose because s/he has cooldowns available to regain MP without you sacrificing some of your damage, and your MP will have been better spent on boosting the damage from all the spells they just spent all their MP on.
