Dex is a bad choice for stat allocation on a bard. And so is str and cha :/

Dex and cha help with missed notes for sure, but they don't impact a bard the same as they would a caster. Missed notes happen instantly and don't waste any mana. You're saving fractions of a second each time. Plus bard gear is full of dex and cha so getting over 100 in both just happens naturally with a few pieces of gear.

Besides the missed notes, cha really only helps with lull on a bard. Maybe charm duration is impacted too, but when it maxes out at one minute or whatever it's not a big help regardless.

Always go all in with sta when making a bard.

Also going sta is a 100hp difference at level 60. HP probably most important stat after resists, and 100hp is equivalent to a piece of high end raid gear.
