KRins Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 If you can dual wield 2 one handed staves, not sure if you can, then yes it is the most defensive position for a bard. Reason being you still can dodge and parry like you could with a 2 handed staff and then also have access to dual parry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Staffs are the only two-handed weapons that do not require the two-handed skill to use properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRins Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Just because you are using them without a proficiency penalty doesn't mean you are weapon blocking however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mya Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Dual parry with a staff Sure beats dual parry daggers for defense, but not for much if you consider the lack of offense. Wield a Mace/Sword and dual a good dagger, that is the best thing to do. But who cares about bards, it's not like anyone PK's with one of thoses.

Implementor Anume Posted June 11, 2011 Implementor Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 There have been some bards who were extremely successful in pk. Knight, Syndicate, Tribunal. One made it to Knight Elder. Helmsly I think? Also been a bard watcher around who killed some badass vampire, that was funny to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Implementor Anume Posted June 11, 2011 Implementor Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 What's wrong with you guys that you just ALWAYS feel the need to belittle someone else's chars? Valadar was a solidly played vamp. Just bc it wasn't you who played them doesn't mean you need to slighten another's char all the time. And it was still funny as hell to watch the watcher bard pk him. He was so wth just happened... a bard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jibber Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Wasn't belittling him. I was comparing him to well played vamps like Messalantha, Cariousus and Martineius. I mean, by your logic I could belittle Messalantha because I killed her twice Just saying he wasn't as badass as the other vamps that were badass. Valadar was solidly played, though. Fun RP, definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mya Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 If I was killed by a Bard I would roll a healer smurf in shame. Come on ... losing to a bard Next I would have gnome rangers dominating me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jibber Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Jarl had a lot of things on his side. Besides being completely decked, he was also magic-resist, and had a few watcher specials on his side. If Jarl had NOT win, it would have been painful to watch.

Aulian Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Jarl was the man. Bard imo are a dark horse when it comes to PK, they are extremely powerful and can come from no where to kick your ***. I fought with and against Helmsley and Jarl - Very very strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0xx Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Jarl had a lot of things on his side. Besides being completely decked, he was also magic-resist, and had a few watcher specials on his side. BUT, you forget that Valadar was a nexus Elder, so it goes both ways. But yes, it's not very surprising that a character in a cabal made to fight unnatural beings killed a vampire. Be it a bard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-3000 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Bard is very powerful when in skilled hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyzarius Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Valadar also got stuck in northfields, and vampires cannot see their surroundings using "exit". So I couldn't find the nearfield to regreat and regroup. Stupid that infravision still shows neihboring rooms as to dark to see when you type ex. Jarl did an excellent job, tnose holy cards really hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
