Different number of MP's?

[Magraev]

I have a dual mage-bard.

When I shift from the staff to the harp I get around 400 extra MP (about 40% increase). I lose that again when i reequip the staff.

The same thing for a cleric-bard I have on another server.

Why do the bards get so much more MP. To make them better to play? It seems to me that if one class should have more MP it should be the wizard.

From tests conducted by a few people, I've been hearing things about bards being a true hybrid character. As in a pure Str bard will still be able to regenerate MP of the entire party. They just have to play a little smarter, but they can take a few hits. So to make up the lack of MP growth by Int points, they get it by harp passive.

I hope that answers you question somewhat, though I know a lot of bards are pure Int.

Thanks for the reply.

Pure str. bard seems a waste, but maybe that's why. I just get so jealous when my wiz looses all those MP's...
