Bard or Samurai

I suppose OP, one of the big questions is: do you want a rotation?

A rotation like SAM's can help guide what you're doing.
The relative lack of one with BRD is a solid go to if you don't wanna deal with one.

But, like, you can always level both up and see which you enjoy more. 14 doesn't lock you into a class.
