Bard Concepts

[~Maui_86]

Ive built a few bards two of which i really liked but deleted a long time ago due to toon space. now i have a spot for one and im gonna roll another. i dont usually look on these build forums because i really do like to create my own masterpieces or failures, but what i was looking for is just a little help with ideas. ive got a few cool ideas and was wondering what the rest of u bard lovers could come up with. if u want to help pls post your favorite bard concept. i dont want a build but just what ur favorite bard does in quest.

Is he a stat damaging repeater build/ healer/ buffer speced , or is he a str based battle bard/ buffer

what ever ur favorite bard concept pls help me try to come up with something.

I know bards can do alot but what is urs speced for? what does ur favorite bard do? (pls dont post a step by step how to make post)

My favorite concept for my playstyle would have to be my dwarven, spellsinger, intimitank, buffbot, umdbot etc... not necissarily in that order...

level 15 +4 AC song FTW!!!

My bard is buffing/dps warchanter. She enhances the parties fighting power and survivability through songs and buffs. She does not do CC aside from the occasional fascinate. Granted she is only level 6 now, but I have yet to be out killed by any barb or fighter. I am sure that will change with leveling and playing with more experienced players, but she will always be near the top.

so that is an axe str build battle bard, with of course bard buffage and then spell singer. im guessing with good saves(dwarf spell defense) and certainly decent hp for a bard in being dwarf, and possibly deceant ac(dwarf armor mastery, umd caosguards). cool idea with the intimdate part thats an intreasting idea.

is that about right?

Well since bards are restricted to light armor (not technically but for low Arcane spell failure) I will be going (its a very new concept lol... just thought of it last night since it is a lvl 16 build) for a balance actually... 24 (26 w/ +2 tome tho favor is goign to dex) str 26 dex end game... not much CC to speak of beyond fascinate of course... um... his AC will be about 55 and he will have high UMD/Intimidate (need 1 fighter to get full ranks in Intimidate... convenient that the new bard song comes at 15 for sure! )... he should run around perma haste/displaced/inspire greatness/inspire courage/inspire heroics... I'm not sure how much you want me to divulge as far as the build goes...

I went spellsinger over Warchanter because my 7 feats I couldn't fit in PA and WF... (I'll be using CE anyways)... all I needed feat wise for spellsinger was MT which I was planning on anyways and the +2 UMD is very nice as well as the -10% sp which is in line with my idea to be a reverse tank of sorts... lots of tanks need buffs to be effective... my goal was to be the opposite and GIVE buffs to save SP all around...

HP wont be great for a tank only ~300 at 16 but with all the added benefits I'll take it
