Summary

See a showcase of tested, viable Progression Paths for the Bard Archetype. Please read the following Notes

  • Bards are a very powerful Choice on Outlands with varying uses and Playstyles
  • The shown Beginner Template is highly recommended for Players starting on outlands as a PVM Template
    • Cheap and relatively fast to train
    • very powerful
    • alot of Options to Advance
  • Bards offer the best buffs to Teamplay through Bard Songs (usually one Bard is enough though.)
  • A downside of Bard Templates is clear lack to fight back Pks / Griefers. Through Defensive Barding they are tough to kill but lack the offensive to fight back.
