Vech24 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hey folks, Seeing as how the written essays for each class were a huge help in beginning to understand a class for a new player like myself, I'm a bit bummed that there isn't one written for bards. After looking through the bard skill set I'm confused as how they're used effectively. I rarely see a Bard around and haven't had the pleasure in being able to group with any. Could someone please give me a general rundown on the playstyle of a Bard? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudder Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 While I could give advice and a theoretical rundown of abilities, I haven't played a bard at 50 and PKed. I'll wait for the battlebard to comment. Helmsley! We're waiting for you buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aulian Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Yeah wait for HBWillie to have a word in this thread. Played the damn scariest bard I've ever seen IG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vech24 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Will do although, is HBWillie still around? I thought I ran across a thread where he was saying his goodbyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekky Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I played a caballed rank 50 bard quite recently, and I learned a fair bit about the class from him. If you're interested in the class, I could write a mini-essay and send it to you in a private message if you'd like. Though I'm not the be all and end all of bard knowledge.

Nekky Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 He was Jarl, a dwarf Watcher, wasn't around for all that long though. I got very busy with Uni exams right in the middle of his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0xx Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Jarl was quite strong indeed. I remember him beating my warmaster halfling BLM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I remember reading an old bard mini-essay a long while back. It was called "how to make friends with everyone" or something like that. It was very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudder Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 ...Seriously, Aulian. We are sick of your overpowered Vampire Heralds! I remember when you sent that note to all. Disgusting when people are playing this game only to ruin the fun for everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aulian Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Not to mention the 1903132313 power house druids I've played Dont get me wrong, my druids ROCK but its not exactly top of the food chain for power is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudder Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 That just depends. A druid can be a nasty nasty person to fight. But agreed, not really a power combo because other classes can be nastier with more ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trick Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 You want to talk to HeadbangerWillie. Dude is intense with bards. Helmsley anyone? Believe he got Sigil Elder, he was pretty badass. -Trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudder Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Anyone can rock hard with Knight Elder. Though I can't remember how good he was before he got E. But yeah, I think we was decent(by normal standards, not bard standards). EDIT: Strongest bard I've seen since the revamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmsely must've been a beast though...people keep referencing him like he was the LeBron James of Bards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest emp_newb Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Is it possible for you to agree with anyone mudder? Just say yea, he was pretty hardcore. He had to have been good to get E. He was also around when there where a million nexus monsters, so that also speaks for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
