Missed notes are not as bad as they may seem. With spellcasters, a fizzle costs mana and wastes some time (fizzles are not instant). A missed note happens instantly and obviously does not waste mana. You can restart the song right away and the worst that will happen is a song drops for a second or two while you get things going again. Imagine it could be really annoying with low dexterity, but keep in mind that all bard races start with highish dex. Lowest is 85 if you're human. Plus there is always dex on bard gear. There's a lot of str and cha, too. Not so much sta.
And 100hp is definitely not insignificant at level 60. Honestly to me it's such a no-brainer that I'm surprised there are differing opinions at all. | ||

I don't question the value of STA as putting your creation stats into STA. However when gearing, Resists (atleast up to the point where base resists + Songs can cap you at 255) are more important. Especially in the current situation of dragon FTEs. With Bard + Normal Resist buffs, you need to be able to hit: 130 Magic Resist 75 Poison Resist 145 Disease Resist 140 Cold Resist 140 Heat Resist Many times resist buffs aren't available etc, and those values go higher. But an epic'd bard with PoM Flowers and some raid pieces will just naturally be able to hit those values after a few months.

I'm not arguing the incredible importance of resists, especially SVM.
You can't roll stats into SVM at character creation, though, so you're just trying to poke holes in my statements by coming up with circumstances where the generalizations aren't perfect. Excuse me for not typing up a thesis detailing every nuance of bard stat availability with respect to character creation, gearing, buff stacking, and song selection. HP is king. It doesn't mean it's the only stat you ever need. | ||
