Hey!

It's a small and simple build based on axesinger designed for my friend, she wants heals(for herself), moderate dps and evasion(ofc everything under bards icon!).


What do you think?
Am I wrong somewhere?
Suggestions?
Opinions?

I am Open to Criticism.
And sorry for my bad english and post which is hard to read(I know sorry!).

[BoBoDaClown]

I struggled to read the layout.

It looks fine.

I couldn't find improve crit: slash - replace maximise with it if you don't have it.

Maybe drop charisma by 2-4 and add some balance and a little open locks.

[domeks18]

hehe, thanks

Instead of IC:SLASHing she will be using at least 1 mineral 2 weapon (all the time), and remember about 1 feat swap if she likes critical more than maximize
I was trying to keep balance as high as possible, but +1 to haggle is more important(and umd, she is too lazy to use head of good fortune/voice of the master so it will be 5% less on heal scroll).

I've a small question about open locks, where is it useful?
I remember only von 2 and shroud part 3.

That's a very good question. At the rate Turbine is going, soon it will just unlock the occasional bonus chest. Back in the day, you needed to pick the lock open if you wanted to use the bathroom in Tear of Dhakaan. I guess that was bad for tourism, so they changed it.

[domeks18]

Hehe, i remember tear with closed shrines
But they were't that useful u could just zerg the quest.
So there is NO other use for open locks?

[Purgatory]

open lock good in von 5, oob, von 2 these are all epic quests I use open lock all the time on my bard.
