Making Half-Elf Bard...startings stats?

[Jete]

Anyways, I am too lazy to read back, but whoever said it depends on how you plan to play your bard hit it right on. If you suck at pulling, don't wanna melee, cant charm / cc worth a darn... go with dex so you can be a mana song bot for a cleric who knows how to push the CHeal button.

Str if you wanna be a melee bard.. as Gwence said before...

Cha if you wanna charm / mez better... but honestly I don't think cha affects mez but that's my opinion.

Int if you plan on charming for a long time without access to a manastone.

Now with all that said, my personal advice is go all cha, and put the rest in dex. Once you wear decent gear str doesn't even matter, during raids and groups more often than not you will have an instrument out. Good bards will be assist pulling / charming / cc during raids and groups. Bad bards will sing one song and /afk out... for that you don't even need to spend your stats, but I digest-
