The Bard?

badmawone

Hey guys and gals,
I have recently made a bard style class with buffs debuffs and off heals. Im enjoying the heck out of it here is my set up and tell me what you think.
Nord- so I can take a hit from all sources without having the wear plate.
Warden- for the buffs and Insta cast heal/pets/regen of magika and stam
Main Hand Bow- For massive range/single/aoe dps. And because in my head bards use bow's end of story.
Back Up Main- Resto staff/Destro/any Two hander. Still in the works on what playstyle i want for secondary might go with resto staff for massive healing just in case the healer is a failure.
Full Stam build with medium/2 pieces of light on hands and belt. I'm only level 21 atm any suggestions on it would be helpfull

I would have gone with nightblade as "Bard" concept, simply for the "slip away" through dark cloak. That would be a bardic concept, right? Dodge out of the fight when it goes against you?

And I might have gone with a more "swashbucking" setup - dual wielding sword and dagger, because that seems like something you'd carry when you usually have your hands full with a musical instrument you just shift to your back to draw your weapons in a fight... maybe with a bow as backup... though I suppose bow as main weapon with DW as backup would not be such a bad idea either... for a "Will Scarlet" kind of feeling...

But really, I keep hoping they will someday add a "Ministrels Guild" to have a "Bard" guild skill line... like... https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/306759/additional-guild-ideas
...because then we could have a musical instrument as -actual- weapon choice, and bring merry songs to all adventuring! (and also, refit this to every character to make them study as "bard"...)

I can't seem to wrap my head around what it saying not that ur wrong it's just not what I imagine when I see a bard. No invis no duels. Bow for the range so that you never get into those situations because kiting In this game is very easy especially with the amount of pets at it disposal at range. I just think it would be more effective to go back resto than duels for super healing when *** gets rough instead of going invis my bear tanks just fine as long as i don't spam skills in a long fight. But I take ur theories into consideration and if you can look into bards from Rift "the game" u will kinda know what I'm talking about I fell in love with that style and it's going great in eso. I'm leveling up having a full on blast betty nitch needs a nerf lol
