Hope you followed this advice. HP, and by association STA, is king for most classes. CHA wont affect you much since unlike an enchanter, none of your songs have very long duration. Ive never geared my bard for CHA and have never had an issue mezing or charming. One place CHA will help is crit resists on lulls, but bards do get quite a bit of CHA gear, and both paladins and enchanters can easily buff it to a workable level since max CHA isnt really necessary. Max STA on the other hand is important, and it is much harder to max than STR. DEX is nice, but at 60 with like 160 DEX ive never had problems with missed notes.

HP, STA and resist are really the most important bard stats, everything else is secondary.

I would put a ton of it in Strength. Heffers suck at starting Strength. If you want the Blue Man look you will be encumbered with 50 plat on you. Been there, done that.

Unless you want to sing a strength Song all day take my advise. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
