She's right, bards suck on this server..

I can't go 1 hr without seeing 3 bards running around in full lambent.

For your information: Lambent is an ingenious set of armor for bards, because it reflects the class perfectly.. Multi-purposed. You don't use every song in every situation, and you don't use every piece of lambent in every situation. (it's kinda like cooking, ex: I like beef, it's a good flavor, but beef ice cream would be a bit much.)

Honestly, everybody who says CHA is a relevant stat for bards, has Absolutely no idea what they're talking about..

Parse it some time.. 100 lulls with base cha, and 100 lulls with 200+ cha.. there's a less than 5% difference in resist rate.. Whoopty doo!

Go hp/sta/ac for gear. It may look strange, but it works well..

Always Remember:
A live bard is a good bard.

I like the first half of what you said, spot on. Bards are jack of all trades (and master of some). However, I would argue that cha IS important. The 5% resist rate could mean the greater ice bones would either all come and you may or may not wipe.

IMO bards should have a few sets of armor for varied situations. I always had a +cha set for when I needed to really break a spawn up. HP gear was great for when I needed to tank. Resist if you're going to raid.

Also, what's up with the flaming guys? =P This is a post asking advice, let's stop shitting all over it.
