Bard base stats
Seems that I'm going to need some of everything. However, I want to know if Dex is something worth sinking points into. The descriptions states that it helps with missing notes, but I thought Cha did that?
Otherwise I'm just going to do Sta/Cha. Maybe 5 into Str depending on race. Any feedback? | ||

Dex does reduce fizzles.
Charisma affects resist rates of lull/mez/charm. Strength makes all that AC easier to wear. 5str/10dex/10cha is pretty safe. http://moestaverne.com/p1999wiki/index.php/Bard says: Wood Elves: Add 10 Charisma, 10 Dexterity, 5 Strength. Half Elves: Add 10 Charisma, 10 Strength, 5 Dexterity. Humans: Add 10 Charisma, 10 Dexterity, 5 Strength. | ||

Stamina is, for the most part, unneccesary then?

Unless you're rolling with friends intending to bard-tank a lot, it's pretty unnecessary.
It won't help you while you swarm kite, at any rate. If you're swarm kiting right, you get 2 hits AT MOST and you're gone. | ||

For any class that gets reasonable return on stamina, always go full into stamina.

every bard i know kicks themselves for putting points into charisma
dex/sta is the way to go | ||

a lot of people say stamina due to its return on hp and the fact that it is harder to raise via gear than some of the other stats.
i personally have always felt like as a bard you shouldnt be getting hit anyway... so i go cha/dex is there any other benefit to sta that im missing? | ||

Any gear worth mentioning for bards will have dexterity and charisma through Velious.
Go stamina. Bards get hit a lot, hitpoints keep them alive. No other stat can do that. | ||

When I made Sephrana V 1.0 (The Half Elf Version!) I put points into DEX/STA/CHA/AGI because i knew nothing about the game!!!!
This time around I knew better. So when I made Seph V 2.0 (Wood Elf this time - just to be different !!) I changed things!!! Because I tend to draw a lot of agro (That's how I roll yo!) I put points into Stamina and Charisma ONLY. I very seldom fizzle and most of my points went into stamina. Charisma gear is easy to get...and i'm still able to even stand toe to toe with blue mobs and kill them at level 19....I couldn't do that last time. I don't swarm kite because I group with a monk most of the time. But I guess I could get with the swarm kiting here soon if I can get used to playing in 3rd person again :P And in choosing gear? I tend to always go Sta & +HPS. because....it's how i play...dunno what it is that i do - stand a little too close - dunno! but in live i died a lot :P JM2C! | ||
