Question about Bard Archers...

[Anderuin]

I was wondering what skills I should go with for a Bard Archer? I was thinking along the lines of.....

Archery
Tactics
Chivalry
Music
Provocation
Resist

Does anyone think this would be possible? I would like music and prov so I can solo more stuff easily. And I would like to keep resist seeing how I have worked it up into the 70's. This will mainly be used for PVM of course.

It's possible.

Discord would make things easier in the long run than provoke. The ideal solo bard would have both.

I've been considering starting a bard/archer. If I do, he'd probably look something like this:

120 archery
120 tactics
120 music
120 provoke
120 disco
75 chiv
40 med

 

[Anderuin]

How well does Disco work? I've never once used it, not even on a regular bard template.

 

[Taylor]

I think you'll find that many more difficult creatures (e.g., greater dragons) cannot be peaced/provoked w/o first discoing them.

I would go with Syrus's template. You can always discord something but not all time will there be something to provo. You can always have 120 peace on a soulstone and just swap out skills to match what your planning on fighting. There is always the test shard to see how big a difference disco makes.
