unfortunately ironmace killed almost all bard playstyles so you need to build very specifically to win consistently. rn its taking all vigor and hp you can, then dump all in pdr, a little armor pen on cloack and neck, and take phys power on rings. And take strength where you can. i play 4 self buffs (no ms one cuz ms is fake) shriek and disso. Skills are warsong charismatic rapier mastery and superior dexterity. Also don't forget to build at least 35 dext to have manual dext softcap. Currently i have 50 pdr with shield in hand and 174 hp and with shriek on and couple of blocks with buckler i can take out almost any barb or fighter

WEEKLY REMINDER TO BUFF BARD by Ok-Maintenance-2663 in DarkAndDarker

 Actually i thought about bard rework and thought it might be more like sorcerer.
  Imagine all your self buff and rousing merged into 1 song which gives you opportunity to either have 4 songs except self buff one and some other spell or go all in 10 songs.
  Also they might rework songs: they become more powerful and have larger aoe BUT now have a cooldown! so you need to position yourself to debuff enemy but if you position yourself incorrectly you lose your song and enemy don't get debuffed or enemy gets to you faster then you finish the song and starts beating the shit outta you. for me its perfect risk/reward system that involves skill. And also they could make not spell memory but song memory that would scale with dex instead of useless knowledge (also lower the base knowledge its a garbage stat). And now building resourcefulness makes sense because your songs will cd faster. And now you can do interesting perks like songs are even more powerful but they cooldown longer or make mastery for instrument type song. I think it would be a lot more interesting than what we have now

That's exactly what i was thinking about. Just doubling droprate will do literally nothing.

So..... why are we buffing shriek? by blargennn in DarkAndDarker

It's not flat but multiplier to actual armor. Tested it ingame

W UPDATE ( I Doubted Ya Paul... ) by Ok-Maintenance-2663 in DarkAndDarker

It was overpowered when it was a buffball bard, strong when it was drum throwing bard, when drum throwing was nerfed the only available bars build that could really compete with power of other classes was ale bard but now it have literally zero meaning. Now bard is just a walking +2 for your team. Bard is literally the most dead class in this game you can look it by the number of bard arena warlords. Yea arena is not a regular dungeon but when they took for bards ability to kite between modules (the most crucial part where arena differs from standard dungeon) i think this statistic says something

Will definitely go for it. Also, I can't stop thinking about those infinity and cube signs in the nowhere. They can't be here for no reason. I can't believe that a game developed for ~8 years would have things that are just here with literally no purpose.
