Returning player looking for current Spellsinger (support/healer) build.

[dusteh]

Haven't played DDO since 2011, and I absolutely missed playing my support/healer bard. Probably the most fun I have ever had at end game in an MMO. Does anyone have an updated build possibly with gear suggestions included? I'm sure everything I have is outdated, minus maybe epic elyd edge. Any help provided would be super appreciated!

[Dielzen]

Here's my build, note that it has some Racial AP in it. With no Racial AP drop the Harper points, and lower Reckless Chant to 2

Max DC Bard
Bard 20
True Neutral Dragonborn

Gear:

Goggles - Legendary Lens of the Orator
Belt - Legendary Many-Pouched Belt of the Healer
Gloves - Bluescale Gloves
Armor - Medium Shadowcaster
Secondary - Legendary Mutilator of Minds

Then use remaining slots to build 5 piece Slavers set (Sorcery)


Of course, this gear will all be invalidated by Ravenloft.


Also of note on the build, if you're going to eTR after you hit 30, you can drop UMD down to 1 point and still have enough for everything you need. You only need ranks like that while leveling to 20.

Thanks a bunch! Looking forward to getting back to barding~

Could you go a little in depth as to your playstyle in end game content? Is scroll healing still a thing?

[Dielzen]

I use Spellsong Vigor to provide the HoT then I basically CC everything. With Completionist and the CHA-based racial lives you can get to 100 Enchant DC.

I never use scrolls to speak of, for healing. Mass Cure Moderate SLA from your destiny and Heal from Capstone cover all the needs with very little mana issues, especially with Mana Song.
