Bards, Checking In!

[Nexius]

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. °.°/
