I'd like to thank Rocka for her incredible selection of builds to peruse and help me structure my presentation.
I'd like to thank Vhlad who talked me through a bunch of crucial decisions that stuck the bolts in the neck of this Frankenstein.

[Samadhi]

I would consider quicken over force of personality. The extra will save while occasionally useful is just not that necessary a lot of the time. Quickened otto's, otoh, is still handy even for a low Cha bard, even if you are not building in any self-healing with mana.

Thanks sam. I had it in there to switch out later, but forgot. With that high of a concentration, not sure it's worth the extra spell points, but...

[ShrewMage]

Yay, another build highly dependant on +4 tomes and raid gear... Kudos for the effort, but honestly who in their right mind has the time to grind out the lewtz for this build. Still not bad without the excessive gear, I just tire of seeing all the builds that depend solely on +4 tomes and gear that is highly sought after.

This build hardly relies on +4 Tomes, but what's the point of not including them? I pull them.

If you'd like me to customize the build for you, please tell me what gear you think you might be able to acquire.

[ShrewMage]

I'm not asking for the build to be customized to a non gear dependant player, it's just getting old to see everyone who posts builds to add in all the +4 tomes and GS items out of the wazoo.

Certainly your preference, and I'm not knocking your build one bit. It just makes me go "Meh" when I see builds with loot unattainable without half a year of casual play.

Problem I have is that it makes comparing builds difficult
Bunch of builds just randomly adding +2 tomes
Some builds using +4

Some builds need tomes to meet prereqs, and it's hard to tell if thats the case
Be nice if people leftout tomes unless needed in the build, then counted whatever tomes they felt appropriate in the fully geared calcs

But until then, I can still do the math, or pass a build or two

[LeLoric]

You seem to be missing something in your weapons. Oh yeah its a +5 holy greatace of greater construct bane

[valorik]

no seeker on a build plannign to use epic sos is a bad idea, if you're set on using litany grab mentaus and use epic bracers of the hunter or wretched twilight.

I have a bloodstone on him right now.

it's not really a criticism, i just thought it'd be funny to point it out, it's a solid build. you don't need that extra +1 in most cases

BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

@20bard Improved Inspire Courage (+3) Your inspire courage now gives an additional +3 bonus to attack, damage, and fear saves.

AH, so.

I hear ya, man. You do give up +1 to att and dam if you bring me into your raid over the 20 WARCHANTER Bard. But if that 20 Bard is a Spell Singer or Virtuoso Haggle bard, then my bard still gives you +1 MORE damage.

I had a really hard time levelling other bards, and this one actually felt a lot like my THF FBIII. And this bard does some kick ass DPS.

Do what you know, ya know?

yeah i would reroll pwny as a pure battle bard probably not full 20 if he wasn't my haggle bot. as it is, he needs to be a full haggle bot + warchanter, so he's pretty gimped when it comes to DPS. if you got the epic sos on that guy too, that's gonna be insane

[Bosco]

Im building something similar to this. Stats are identical. Big difference I decided to go 6 Fighter 14 Bard. Songs are still the same and you would get a considerable bumb in your to hit. Kensei and Warchanter have one of the required feats in common which is also nice.

You're missing the AC song, man.

Huge bummer for AC guys looking for their last AC buff....and I'm really not sure you're bringing all that much more to the party.

You gotta play what you have fun with, but be prepared to be saying "I don't have that" a lot.

BTW, I do not have a problem hitting things, even on EPIC.

Yep ac song I am missing. I felt it a decent trade off for specialization and kensei damage. If you run with a lot of players built for ac, I can see where the ac song is a necessity. I have never built a toon for ac and take pride that my pally has a 28 ac:eek: hehe

I decided I wanted a bard that could be as beneficial to the party or raid as I could stand to play.

If you hate handing out buffs though, your build certainly gives you an easy out. :D

Great DPSing bard to run with. It's nice to have a bard that can come to you for haste.

Even if it's not half as sexy as Roq Star, it's a pretty good effort ;)

If you include +4 tomes in your build you shouldn't... well...
See link below:

Exploiter used +2 tomes but had CE on for 65 - Kama is using PA
+4 tomes are not reasonable but do exist so I used them for what the build could do (math is easy if you want to figure +2 tomes instead)

1) Is this build suitable for a new player (p2p)?

I don't know if I will ever get epic gear (probably not).

I am interested in a warchanter - melee dps, and some buffing.

Thanks.

This build is reliant on the +4 tomes and uber gear. Only elitists can get this.

[LeLoric]

Not at all I run with boomph a lot and as of now Im pretty sure he doesnt have a single +4 tome or any epic items yet. He still rocks it just fine. The gear and tome list just show what he is capable of reaching and his long term goal for the character not what you need to be effective.

[Notajedi]

This one is really cool.

My friends breothers friend gave me a +1 WIS tome, so I have that already. I only have 2,000 plat and I can only hvae 2500 plat.

I can only build a 28 point bard
STR 16
DEX 8
CON 16
INT 10
WIS 8+1 tome(when I reach 3rd level)
CHA 13

Currently, at 1st level I am

My HP = 29
My Sp = 60
My fort save = 3
My reflex save = 1
My will save = 1

My question is, should I get my first +2 tome by the time I reach 7th level? What quest will it drop in?
Can I get a +4 tome in Delirium, acid wit, or Mired in kobolds? I only have free to play quests right now but I really need a +4 tome.

I am not sure what Litany means? Is that a spell? What does exceptional mean?

Where will I find EPIC SOS and what is it?
Where do I find all that equipment? I will really need that stuff to make my character BUFF!!!

[Keikelajin]

Since I am new to bards, but not the game with other classes, help me understand a few things.

How do you get away with no skill points in perform? I only notice a 15 perform item.

You have stats totalling a 34 pt build. Either 10 INT or 13 CHA is wrong. I assume its the INT. Otherwise its a TR with no past life.

You won't be pulling +2 tomes with regularity until you begin running Meridia (Level 15+).


Can I get a +4 tome in Delirium, acid wit, or Mired in kobolds? I only have free to play quests right now but I really need a +4 tome.

Nah...you don't need them. Don't concentrate on the +4 tomes. If you get one, eat it.

Litany is a piece of raid loot that drops out of the Abbot. It gives you a +1 stacking bonus to all of your stats.

Exceptional bonuses, +1 and +2, are bonuses that can be found on high end loot and crafting items. They stack with your gear's modifier.

Epic Sword of Shadows is the highest DPS weapon in the game. Look it up on these forums.

The gear comes, my friend. Just keep playing and have a good time.

[Wizzly_Bear]

A couple notes in case they haven't been mentioned yet....

1) bard song is +2 to your skills, not +4 (you have the latter in your intim breakdown)

2) if you're going to be adding in +4 tomes and such, put the frickin Abbot ring (+15 intim and +5 resist) on him instead of a plain +15 intim. This gives you more options with your docent selection.

Thanks. There is so much happening with Epic stuff, my gear won't be final for a bit.

[BoBoDaClown]

Hey Gunga,

I'm tossing up various ideas re: Bardbarians.

I was actually thinking of splashing five levels, thinking the loss of irresistible bearable, considering I can't cast it while raging.

I was thinking 15/4/1 Bard/Barb/Fighter.

I wasn't sure re: THF vs TWF on a build like this. I would have thought TWF would still come up higher if you are restricted to greensteel and down (I have only run a few epics).

I thought for TWF I might go Human for the versatility, adaptabilty, healing, and the extra feat (couple with a fighter feat) allows me to keep khopesh and imoroved crit on the build. Halfling was my other TWF option.

Or else I would go WF THF, but I'm not convinced a two hander is the way to go if you don't have access to epic weaponry.

Your thoughs?

Hey Man.

I've thought about this type of level split in the past, but just the opposite.

I use OID all the time; dance the dogs and fire eles in ToD pt 1, dance everything in amrath, etc. So I don't think that I'll be going 15/4/1. But, if I did, I would go 15 Bard / 4 Fighter / 1 Barb.

The 2 extra feats are more valuable than the extra con point, especially on a WF or Dwarf.

As a WF, with PA enhancements and WF glancing blows, THF makes sense to me. I currently use a GS LIGII GA and it smacks stuff around pretty well. I'm holding off on making other GS weapons until I complete the Epic SOS.

If you go Human, there is a lot of synergy as a TWF Khopesh user. 15/4/1 would be an excellent choice...Dual MINII Khops are deadly on this build.

I helped a buddy turn his old bard into a Human TWF 16/2/2 dual wielding MINII Khops and it's his favorite toon.

Good luck with it.

[BoBoDaClown]

I use OID all the time; dance the dogs and fire eles in ToD pt 1, dance everything in amrath, etc.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm curious as to your success rate chucking out otto's on high SR mobs. Do you struggle? Or land every time? Are there specific mobs you struggle with? Have you taken the spell pen enhancements? Have a spell pen item?

I have a CC bard who I suspect might be wasting a feat or two by having the spell pen feats.

Cheers again :)

Hey man.

I land it when I need it.

I've probably learned which mobs I have a high success rate with; Amrath orthos and devils, ToD dogs and eles, most everything else lower level.

Hey Gunga! great build, only bard i'm actually thinking about running :)
Was wandering about a dwarf version (bearded mini cuisinart are more fun than tin can) with axe enhancements and watnut... But was thinking on going 15bard/4figth/1barb. You get 1 extra feat, weap spec (+2 dam is sweet) would really like your imput and suggestions on this... Also is going level 15 bard a big lost or no?
Thanks man

Hey man.

Dwarves are lots of fun, you can make use of healing and the extra axe damage is great.

You lose xtra glancing blows and pa enhancements.

The only thing you're gaining from the 16 bard is Otto's. If you don't see yourself using it, than 15/4/1 is excellent, and was my second choice. I may still roll a human TWF Khopesh Bard that way.

GL with it man...Bards are a blast.

Not only for the build, which I really like and plan on making myself.
I really appreciated the answers you gave some of the posters. Others were jerks when they did not have to be. You helped and I like seeing that. It's getting too rare these days...I even find myself being less helpful than I should.

So thanks for a great looking build and for helping others. I appreciated it!

[oogly54]

All of you gear haters and +4 tome haters need to realize that pretty much everyone in our guild has been playing for five years, we have all the gear in the world, from every raid. Aquiring epic gear is all we do. Running Elite/Epic end game raids is daily occurance. These things are rare, but not as rare as you think when you run the content constantly. Gunga may not have this stuff on his Bard, but I am postive he has it on three other toons and this one just hasnt caught up YET. He will get what he has listed, it is only a matter of time.

Just because you have only been playing a year and can't possibly see how someone has acquired so much stuff doesn;t make it impossible or unreasonable. For you, who hasn't put in the time, yes. Not for a five year player who plays ona regular basis.

Good build Gunga!

1) h-orc brute, THF, full enhancement in damage (figure about 11-13 more than human) and more boost.
2) human THF, healing amp, human versatility for new damage boost, and haste boost, 1 extra feat, more skills

Wanted to know your opinion on these build? did you tried them? are the worth it?
Thanks man, great build, best bard ever

Hey Choop -

I switched him over to 20 bard when horcs came out. Just LTR'd him back to 16/2/2 which I like a lot better.

Good luck with your build - the extra fighter levels are a good way to go too.
