Bard Skills

[Kosh]

I couldn't fit my chart into any of the posts so I decided to list the skills for each job seperately for all to see. This info was obtained from the Japanese site www.ausystem.org. I used to always wonder about this info and I've seen many others ask as well. Hope it helps.

so kosh are you still being a bard

[Alatar]

So bards are best with daggers over instruments? Weird i still think when i try bard i'll use a flute or something like that.

[Kosh]

Callous,
LOL... I'm touched that you remember my comments from when I first came to this board haha Wow, that seems like such a long time ago...

Unfortunately my dreams of a RDM/BRD died once I discovered that BRD is a terrible sub job...

I still want to be a RDM though, I'm planning on RDM/BLM

Thanks for asking.


Alatar,
You don't really attack with instruments. They increase your song skill. So it's not really fair to compare the dagger to the instrument skillls. Use the dagger to attack and use the instruments to buff.

LOL...i remeber when nameless wanted to be a dark knight/warrior and he turned to a red mage too!! Oh yeah did you hear any rumors about new instruments coming up in the next expansion?

[Kosh]

No, I haven't heard anything about new instruments. Which I believe is a good thing. The more instruments there are means the more skills you would have to raise and the more gil you have to spend to buy the uber of each instrument (or the more you would die on quests trying to get the uber of each instrument).

Yeah, RDM will just work out better for me than a BRD. BRD still seems cool but I would like to start a SUM once I max out my RDM and a SUM/RDM seems like it will work out a lot better than a SUM/BRD (according to all the importers).

oh ok....
