Noise, guards, dances, the bard nukes, passives, all of these are great. A bard attacks extremely fast, the passives are only useful if your going to use bard more than a sub.

Bard is an awesome build, simple as that. Eventually get the sp and max the whole tree, it makes a great build.

lol yea dont underestimate it :P

but if your talking strictly in terms of SOLOING with your wizard as main class...then you'll just need moving march and noise.

but if you are gonna be in parties...get pretty much all of the skills (look at the bard/wizard guide by guardia).

but ya a FF 90 bard with its fast nukes is a deadly opponent :D

I currently have a lvl 32 wizard/bard. Is it worth getting bard skills over wizard skills from now on (meaning that my char will be bard/wizard)? Or should I stay wizard/bard?
NOTE: I DO NOT have the SP to max out both (and I won't SP farm).

Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Imo from what I have seen of a few very able bards, they have all the same benifits as wizards with few of the weakness's, bards have the fastest nukes in the game, a few absloute spells, bind, great defense from tambours and they are self sufficant with regards to mana, their only weak point is that they cant match a wizards dmg in LT, but then what can. :) I also belive bards require less sp then wizards so, but im not sure of that.

well its true although im only at around 27-28 right now bards need less sp...i mostle 0-1 gap right now n i can 1-2 hit almost all mobs at my lvl
nukes r fast n i REALLY save money as compared to warriors n wizards taking in pot usage....

also bards running around with guard tambour imo just look cool 8)
