Advice for Bard build
Basically trying to decide on more or less pure bard or provo mage.
Bard:
Enticement
Magery
Musicianship
Peacemaking
Provocation
Resisting Spells
Wrestling
Provo Mage:
Eval. Int.
Magery
Meditation
Musicianship
Provocation
Resisting Spells
Wrestling
For those that have been around UOSA a while, is one more practical than the other?

peacemaking is more or less useless during t2a era or better here on uosa. if it has to be a pure mage bard i would go with the 2nd one
Re: Advice for Bard build
*shrug* I never had a bard back in the day; always thought they were useless since I had a bunch of other gold cows. Now, though, it's much easier for me to macro up a bard for a week then go make some gold to get a house and start macro'ing other guys that I actually want to do things with. The "pure" bard was really a more defensive-type build that pretty much runs from anything too scary, whereas the provo mage could keep his main skill(provo) and pack a little more kick with his magery beyond using it as a finisher/escape tool. Still not sold on entice or peacemaking but I'll macro the rest up first and hope for more input here.
Re: Advice for Bard build
I love entice and peacemaking in the right situations. They are probably useless to most people though. Both can be great griefing skills, but I assume that is not what you're looking for.

Re: Advice for Bard build
With this guy not really; he's just my startup. If I could stand chopping wood or shearing sheep I'd do that but I would rather be out doing something to make a little gold over those two options.applejack wrote:I love entice and peacemaking in the right situations.

Re: Advice for Bard build
Second template is the better way to go with.
You could consider swapping resist out for:
Hiding
Lockpicking
Tracking+Hiding mix
Tracking+Resist mix

Re: Advice for Bard build
I'm currently building the second template without wrestling and with hiding because this is a character I played in the past and I am lacking in imagination. Also considering 80 resist / 20 tracking combo. I read on another forum thread somewhere that this was killer..
Any input appreciated.

Re: Advice for Bard build
Tracking works great depending on what you want to do. I personally don't find it too useful for a bard, but 20 will probably only let you know if someone is hidden in the same screen as you, not much more help.

Re: Advice for Bard build
Could be handy vs. stealthers waiting for a killer blow when I'm on 1/3hp. I'll keep it in for the time being.

Re: Advice for Bard build
Why is a useless? It works on players doesn't it? But........you can't target a specific player, right? Just use the skill and all fights will stop for a few seconds. Hope it includes spellcasting too. I'm working on a bard/treasure hunter withHeckler wrote:Arrochar wrote:Basically trying to decide on more or less pure bard or provo mage.

Thinking of taking out wrestling and putting in peacemaking, would be useful for the mobs who spawn when I get the treasure, Until I can provoke them.
Re: Advice for Bard build
anyone use a provo dexer? Just wonder as I am building a provo something. Not sure but I heard a provo dexer was good for farming gold for starting up.
