So get the fuck off my bard's ass in Crusty gear you randomass motherfucking Unrest groupie motherfucker.

CHA is only a factor into Lull when it gets resisted. Critical resist = agro.
Thats it. What, you thought bards 3 tick Charm mattered? Blow it out your ass. And Mez spells are 90% a check your level vs the targets level vs the enemies magic resist, 5% RNG and 5% CHA.

And DEX? SERIOUSLY?!

Have you ever modded Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas? I mean serious digging modding not just looking on Nexus for some masturbateable bodymods. I mean using the GECK. So as you may not know, Food and Stimpacks are classified as "Restoration Spells".

Anyways, Songs are Spells. Your skill vs the song's character level requirement is it. Ever see a wizard ask for a DEX buff to make more fire?

If you kept reading for this long and are of a pragmatic mind, you now realize you wasted money on that mystic koadadal armor for your wood elf bard who probably wasted started stats.

For those minds that are left, human or half elf with all starting stats into stamina and stacking AC>HP>STA gear is your key to being a happy and successful bard.

Not true. Dexterity is basically Strength on steroids for bards. It's why level 60 Bards often times out damage rogues.

as someone who makes money of retarded people who do not know game mechanics i must disagree with you

At this point all that matters is seeing logs for this kind of stuff. one dude logging like 30 days play time in the exact same spot at level 60 with different gear sets for high dex, high cha, and low versions of each of those.

Cast same song a billion times on green, blue, white, and red cons and see how many resists with CHA , etc etc.

And it can't be historical since everyone is kinda figuring out that the way stats work on EMU or at least P99 are significantly guess work to approximate what we imagine the game worked like in 2001

Stats are meaningless. The only thing to consider for gear choices is how it looks standing in the EC tunnel.

Does it say, "I'm better than you?" Does it make the typical player think, "Wow, that toon has an item, they've seen some shit?"

Is it one-of-a-kind, a pixel that is statistically impossible to duplicate, dropped only at a GM event or so rare that there's no known copy on the server?

No? Then delete it.

Dex is for procs, which is what you should be doing as a bard.

Final judgment on OP: shitter.

Is a bard a tank, and does it do high melee DPS? If the answer is no, then STR, STA, AGI aren't very useful.

Is a bard a utility class? If so, then the single best stat you can maximize is DEX for those very useful utility procs.

I figured DEX was for more reliable songs, but I'm an idiot.

The Bards in my group don't do that.

Idk I usually prefer that’s what they do lmao

I remember we had this bard who worked really hard at twisting songs, and he had to go afk to cook dinner

We told him it was okay just to leave mana song playing

Game suddenly became easier (before I was an OOM cleric, now I’m suddenly full mana and we’re able to easily clear the entire zone)

Bard comes back, starts sing weaving again, and suddenly im OOM and group is struggling to hold camp again
That was when I realized I prefer the afk mana song bards

Even recently on my shaman, bard feels op between mana regen and hp regen helping with my cannibalize.... bards who song weave a bunch of stuff that doesn’t help kind of trigger me ngl

If I go without a total of 4 bard songs for more than 3 seconds, I auto kick the Bard without warning.

Probably new server in a few months
Just remember every decent player puts all starting points into stamina for every class. end game gear maxes out your other stats so easily. Even my half elf druid with 70 starting wis got to 255 casually jacking off in a corner healing necros and warriors
