Pure Dex Bard 40 (GeneralJerk) (legacy)
A build written by GeneralJerk, first published 16-JUN-2022. A build is one player's opinion, not a rule. Nothing on this page is checked against the game's code the way the rest of the wiki is, and a rebalance can leave a build behind without anybody editing it.
Marked legacy by its author: it was written for an older version of the server and is kept for reference rather than for following.

Here’s a pure bard build I made that (in my opinion) works well and is simple to achieve for fairly fresh players (BTs for subrace and nordock gear highly encouraged). / The song cap can be reached with 2 bard rings, and a basic nord offset, by singing twice the first time. Ranged is chosen as rapid shot can be used to mitigate APR problems and get you back to a standard 5. / AC is 87 with song (med skin), effectively 91 with curse. AB is 62 when using war cry and rapid shot, effectively 70 with curse. / I left skills off for builder’s discretion, but obviously perform/tumble/disc are good picks, and taunt is an easy choice as song/curse make everything easy to taunt. / Also I like to take 1 point dips in a couple of trained skills as bard song makes them +20 more by default.
