So I came to an odd conclusion the other day about my main character, a bard.

It started when I made a monk twink and quickly came up with a 300k wish list of stuff I would love to get it some day (which by no means do I have the plat on hand to get it today). But the thought of these up grades was exciting as they are things that will make him far more effective and fun to play some day. And these upgrades serve as goals/quests or things to work toward and put energy into achieving.

After dreaming about this wish list it finally dawned on me that I really never felt this way about items for my bard.

From a raiding stand point:
My melee will never be a tide turner
I don't have to focus to hard on resist gear because I got my songs and cap easy
I'm not going to take many hits so AC and HP are nice for some survivability but not an earth shattering focus
And I don't need mana gear

Form the solo side:
I'll do it naked with an instrument, enough said

Please don't get me wrong, upgrades help but I'd defer most to dps/tanks as they can get a bigger boost to their role in most cases.

Really the only big upgrades that I find ecxiting are instruments, clickies and my epic.

I enjoy the bard a great deal and love the value he brings to his groups but I find this lack of reliance on gear almost takes some of the fun out of it.

Just a random thought of the day. =)
