Default Bards?!?!?!?!

Okay so I've been on this server for a couple of weeks now and have grouped with a couple of bards. I used to play a bard on live and I gotta say so far I've not been impressed with the one song playing ones I've seen so far. I know there are good ones here they just aren't in the lowbie areas.

I decided that I am going to risk the carpal tunnel and play a bard again. I've managed to collect 250pp and don't want to just start another toon naked.

What do you think the best bang for my buck would be for 250pp? Some not so horrible weapon and some bronze?

Can't go wrong with a good weapon and some AC.

maybe, but one more that can 4 twist, break camps, pull, and CC+ play songs isn't too bad is it? I've been missing my bard and watching everyone play theirs knowing I could do better is making my OCD meter go crazy lol.

Plus.....

I wanna go fast!!!!!

Nab an enameled black mace or an Obsidian scimitar in the EC tunnel and go to work. thats probably your best bet, or grab a set of MM battle drums and a Lute of the gypsy princess. I got mine for my alt bard bundled the other day for 150 pp.

Just like surges of SKs during any given week?

It doesn't really matter unless the surge collectively hits Level ~30 which it never does, obviously [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. Bards tend to wash out early due to the comparatively increased learning curve of other classes. It only means good things for those of us trying to unload small bronze armor and cheap 1hs [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My advice is to start off with a decent soloing class (Necro, Mage, Druid, etc) and then work on doing the Lambent quests for yourself. This tends to be a more rewarding strategy IMHO.

It does seem like a few people are playing bards, probably because they a bit different than any other class. It is a class that definitely takes skill and patience to play, I hope to live up to expectations of my fellow players.

That said, you're lucky you have plat to gear up your bard, mine is still a naked newbie [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I've got a wizzy I'm going to play on the days I don't want to play the bard or can't find groups. I'm just missing the bard too much now that I've been playing EQ.....it's almost like it's not really EQ without missed notes!
