Ok, after looking through a few threads and poring over the Advanced Searches and the AH, of course, I've come up with an idea for my end-game Bard gear sets. Please let me know if any pieces I've listed aren't worth carrying or especially if there are ones I've missed.
Head:
Walahra Turban: Speed/MP - Haste+5%, MP+30
Bard's Roundlet [+1]: Stick/Buff - Singing+5, CHR+5[6]
Body:
Yigit Gomlek: Speed - Song spellcasting time -10%
Minstrel's Coat: Stick/Buff - Wind+3 String+3
Hands:
Sha'ir Gages: Speed - Song Recast - 2 CHR+5
Choral Cuffs [+1]: Stick/Buff Singing+5[10]
Legs:
Choral Cannions [+1]: Exclusively - Wind +3[8]
Feet:
Sha'ir Crackows: Exclusively - CHR+4 Haste +1%
Back:
Jester's Cape: Exclusively (until Bard's Cape)
Bard's Cape: If I ever do DL Dynamis, then exclusive.
Neck:
Star Necklace: Exclusively - CHR+3 15mp
Ears:
Musical Earring: Exclusively - String+5 Wind+5
Melody Earring: Until I decide I want to do Locquacious.
Rings:
Trumpet [Nereid]: Exclusively - Wind Skill +2[+3]
Questions I have:
With all of the +Skill stuff I can get nowadays, do I seriously need a heavy +CHR build? Which is better for ensuring songs stick, skill or CHR? I realize that point-for-point skill is better for sticking, but how does CHR measure up? Is there a certain threshold I should shoot for like 100?
I feel like I don't have enough shoes...
Yes, I realize this is obviously a wind build. My string skill is...weak. What are the most common activities in which a Bard will want a string gearset for?
I looked at Goliard quite seriously, but in the end I couldn't find anything I thought was terribly interesting.
I'm working on Musical Earring and AF+1 as my biggest interests right now. I've been doing Nyzul Isle, but I'm seriously considering dropping it and using all of my tags for Periqia Assault to get Yigit Gomlek (I don't feel like shelling out 4mil on Sha'ir Manteel).
Please note: I don't really care about weapons/instruments. Basically, the goal is to have all top-quality instruments and weapons will be Elemental staves generally. I'm thinking toward party and not solo. I doubt I'll ever use Bard in solo since I have RDM.
