Quick bard question before I dump 1000+ bone chips on her.

[MiRo2]

I'm not saying that 200hp isn't a big increase for hp. I'm asking what is the real difference between a bard with 4000hp and one with 4080hp? When I'm tanking on my bard, the healer can either keep me up or can't, a couple hundred hp doesn't really make a difference; and I'm rarely the best choice to tank in a group.

Stats don't matter on a bard, don't let a dilemma of where to put your points on creation delay you from playing the most fun class in EQ.

HP on a Bard has nothing to do with tanking. You're going to need to survive AoEs, and if the extra HP can keep you up one more tick before the next group heal goes off, then it is well worth it.

Maybe on how you play your bard. Personally the only time I find my self needing buffs on my bard is during a couple VP fights, or difficult duo/trio content. That's a difference of 2600hp and 4400hp, that I need for about 10% of what I actually do on my bard, the other 90% it literally couldn't matter less what my max hp is. That encompasses VP, all velious targets, group content, solo content, farming, and PvP.

HP is not the be all end all for bards, and not dumping creation points in STA doesn't make or break your character.

I would put it all on Sta.

Any left over, put it in Str.

Dex and Agi doesn't work on bard in p99.

As for Cha, you're better off being an Enchanter for charming.
