I’m having a hard time reading to the end due to the overwhelming amount of misinformation for advice.

People say go all STR, all DEX, STA, CHA….

All strength is ridiculous. However, it’s not the worst decision.

STA…. 100HP at 60…. During swarming, you may as well have 1 HP. You get hit you’re going to die. So you should prioritize how you are going to keep yourself from dying in the first place. (If you’re grouping or raiding and you’re getting hit so much that you’re dying, you need to rethink your class selection, your group choice, how you’re playing the role, etc because more often than not, you need more of something else and STA wasn’t it!)

You have DEX and CHA. These 2 stats are going to be the core of a bard, depending on what role you want to play in the game.

If you want to swarm and solo only, go DEX. You’re going to die more times from a string of missed notes than you will for not having 100 hp or 25 stength. CHA also doesn’t matter while solo.

If you want to never solo or swarm, always in a group ans then raid? You can just dump everything in CHA so you can help yourself from lower chance from critical resists on lull. But at the end of the day, once again, missed notes are the source of your problem in most situations.

Moral of the story… do what you want. If you’re wanting to min/max then dump everything into DEX as it is the only stat that is relevant across the board.
