Bards and Charisma

[Halfelfbard]

Your thinking like a enchanter, and not a bard it looks like. Think of it this way, everything with a bard is timed...nothing lasts forever. It just matters how fast you can repeat the process.

From a raid bard, i look at it like this...Resists/Sta/Dex

And you should have certain gear sets for what your doing.

I agree with HalfElf, although at 60 with a good drum/epic I pretty much just skip resist gear and stack hitpoints/stam/dex.

Have different sets of gear incase you need to put on resist gear but otherwise stacking health benefits you in so many more ways than anything else. The longer you are alive the longer your group stays alive.
