Beware using Foe's Requiem while soloing... it will aggro everything around you.

Not just solo, beware using it in dungeons outside of the boss fights. It will agro mobs through walls, floors, ceilings, everything.

Fellow future Bard checking in and boy do I have some stuff to say!

Well Darkov thats good in my situation, lately I've been doing dungeons without tanks. I've essentially become the tank, take 2 other dps classes with me and a healer, sometimes we're all dps classes and we have an arcanists who uses its pet as a tank and heals me while I kite the other mobs. I just love my utility as an Archer so far and I have a feeling I'll have even more fun being a bard. Just DPs doesnt define what you can really do with some ingenuity and skill.

On a separate note somewhat though, What level should I train my pugilist to. I mean eventually I want it to be 50 as well as my archer side but are the higher level Puglist skills useful to a bard? How does the whole leveling process even work once you become a bard?

Mantra from monk and Blood for Blood from Dragoon should be useful.

I usually love my simple set of skills:

Internal release
Featherfoot
Second wind

Those 3 save you a lot of trouble.

True is that blood for blood give you a ton of damages with raging strike, and Mantra ease the job for the healer, but usually you can go nice with those. °.°/
