I decided to make a bardlock, because I was getting bored with my chinese char.
But I have some questions, who are asked a few times before, but I'm too lazy too search.

What bard skills do I need besides noise and moving march?
My main will be warlock, but when needed I'll switch to bard in the party.


BTW don't post any "OMG bard is a bad sub for a warlock. I'll ignore you. I want to run around on steroids while being ignore by mobs I don't touch. And any giant will need to answer to stuns, debuffs and leech during a zerk rampage.

Besides clerlock doesn't sounds as good as bardlock.

If you are going to be grinding in parties also besides solo, I would probably get tambours, dances, and maybe the nukes because they cast incredibly fast and the debuffs can just make the nukes stronger. The nukes I don't think are necessary but they do look really really cool.

You will probably want to get more skills later on, but until then you can start of with Guard and Mana Tambour, Hit March, Prism, Echo, Dancing of Magic, Tripping, Screen Dance and Mana Cycle.

Those are essentials for being a bard in a party. Of course speed + noise are a given, you also want to get some of the nukes such as booming wave. With a quick finger that will deal huge damage after debuffed, more than those flower nukes your given.

OMG bard is a bad sub for a warlock.

only skill you NEED in a party for bards = mana cycle, you can find almost any party that will just let you trace someone and go down the list of party members giving everyone mana cycle for hours and hours. if theres another bard then put on a dance and continue to spam mana cycle.

!!!!!?????

well you need 1bard for the first trambour, then you can do a dance. so really only 2 but still, wont be seeing anyong do a vampire touch>stun>debuff>switch bard>dance of wiz>nuke

it would be more like vampire>stun>1 or 2 debuffs>sleep/fear(never played a lock idk what the move is that makes it so you cant attack besides stun)>more debuffs>switch bard>horror cord>booming cord

i'm not sure.. but i think the baby nuke the lock has (death flower?) is stronger than horror chord, so it would be better to cast 2 dots and a death trap then just use the lock nuke.. ie: u'r not using bard in combat at all

yeah but the horror cord casts in a second and has like a 2second cooldown, way way better to use the bard nukes.

Clerlock sounds like a blind Sherlock.

then how would warric vs warbard vs bardlock be like?

Dancing of wizardry requires a tambour active in the party to cast.
I think you'd only need two bards though.. you could tambour, the other use the dance, then you nuke? Or does the skill go away when you attack.. or is it getting hit, I forget.
