crossbow with bard subclass?

[omgomg1234]

hey i am lvl 22 crossbow with bard subclass, but many people are cleric these days, but is bard good for crossbow? so do i de-lvl bard and get cleric? i think cleric are only for healing and helpfull for the party, and in the other hand bard are good for pve? so wat do i do as my sub? i need your help

I would keep bard.

well im a rouge with dager and crossbow and i have a sub class bard and my tipp is to keep the bard clas as it is now till level 30 then start pumping up cleric and delevel bard as until lvl 30 you have little use of the cleric skils.
Thats my idea but what im actual going to do is keep bard until i dont have enough masteries at final levels (i wont lvl up bard any more) becouse of the speed and i would still be leveling cleric and in the end when i have maxed al out i would start deleveling bard and training cleric eaven more s its up to you.

You cant? what about bless, healing division(i mean that skill that stays 16 sec name may be wrong), holy word and recovery division. From bard u only use noise+moving march. But still i would keep bard if i were u

Well, a cleric is more pvp oriented, while bard is more pve oriented.

With bard as a sub and xbow, you'll cut your leveling time by about 50%. Bard and xbow ain't a bad choice. If you don't like it you can always delevel bard at lvl 80 and get the cleric skills.
