what is battle bard?

bard can train solo
bard is not strong in pvp
he cant kill alot he is not a wizard
he can kill 1,1,1,1 or be "support" of kill with his dances and damage..

pure int

build bard-cleric =]

lol a bard can out damage a wiz in later levels... they have nukes too and yes they can train solo with noise

I have level 94 bard/cleric, currently soloing on level 96/97 mobs when there is no guild/union party.

Can it solo well? Yes. After level 40 when you get Recovery Division (cleric sub) you finish grinding with more pots than you started with.
What Sub? If you want to play bard as your main, I suggest cleric sub. All others subs will become your main, example wizard/bard.
Is it cool? Depends on what you like. I love being a support character but still able to survive on my own. I don't care about big damage numbers. I don't care about seeing my name because of killing an unique (very rare to see that as a Bard).
Can it kill lots of people when in a group or maybe event? Solo pvp, you die frequently. Group pvp, you make everyone kill faster, survive longer and often kill steal your party mates.
What skills to take? See viewtopic.php?f=5&t=88001
Pure Int or hybrid? Pure Int because your damage is purely magic based. Cleric sub will keep you alive so extra Str doesn't help you.

I can survive and kill 3 or 4 mobs my own level almost as quickly as a wizard. I can survive and kill 2 or 3 mobs a couple levels higher than me. I can outkill same level Chinese nukers. Giants are not a problem once you have Recovery Division (level 40 cleric) and Bless.

thats some first class help right there

this.

I also wrote a guide explaining the bard and what skills to take and what they do. However it doesnt explain pvp strategies or group play.

Bard nukes are very fast. The damage per skill of a bard may be slightly lower than a nuker but we can attack twice in the time it takes for the animation of one Chinese nuke.
