However it's the heaviest APM class by far. You are always pushing buttons and twisting songs. Don't even bother with weapons. Just use your instruments. They double your potency. With your lute out and regen song rolling your healer will not have much to do unless it hits the fan.

The only equipment you will need is banded armor, MM Drums, Gypsy Lute and a Mino Horn. Everything else is not a necessity. Pick up any dex/cha gear you can along the way but it's not a priority.

You'll want to keep a steady melody of 4 songs up at a consistent basis. At lower levels you can't really do this because you will miss a lot of notes. Once the class comes into it's own however it one of the most powerful additions possible for a group because you can fulfill any role that is needed (except tanking / melee dmg)

Bards are not really a melee class. They are a caster class that provide insane utility to any group.
This except buy your horn Incase you ever wanna swarm from 18-48 and gear like a tank HP/AC/resists/STA, you can have a few CHA items if you absolutely have to split something that you can’t do with charm, mez, snare, fear, etc.
