Bard Class as Main?

[breathtaker234]

I got a bard up and running at lv 30, and now I'm wondering if I could use another class.

I've been playing around with Reverse for a Cleric, and that seems most practical. Maybe I could turn it into a Bard/Cleric, but I fear that I'd end up playing as Cleric most of the time. On the other hand, that'd ensure constant leveling parties and stronger armor.

I saw that Warlock thread; I put some points into it, and it's pretty fun. I'd actually have a better chance at PvPing one day, too. Maybe it'd be a nice breather from having to play Support? (Might as well think of using a Wizard too).

xD Suggestions? It seems Bard skills buff all the other classes, but not the other way around.

Cleric or warlock<3

And bards are more needed on my server than clerics.(allmost no bards) only subbards

I think you gave the answer yourself
- Cleric makes your character a better buffer
- Wizzard or Warlock gives you the opportunity to explore other aspects of the game

The decision is yours and nobody will / should make it for you.

In my experience playing a cleric/bard the usage of the class evens out (*) since, as Potetgull noted, fully skilled Bards are more rare and parties are looking for them. What's great about the cleric subclass, from a bards perspective, is the ability to switch to cleric, cast Bless, switch back and reactivate your song. If you have a full cleric in your party and maybe a rogue with cleric as his subclass you can have bless activated almost all the time and face really tough opponents.

(*) a factor in this might be, that bard gets displayed as my primary class in the party window, even though I skilled it later than cleric, and people don't expect me to have put many points in leveling the cleric mastery
