Well, after reading Darren's guide, it made me want to try out a bard for the first time. I have never tried one but man what an addictive class. Taming all the ants on PC2 and PC3(yep consecutive holes) was great fun. This bard was so promising too...altar on DD 3...2 2x2s of herbs for morgia/moss and stomafillias in a small enclosed room on PC4...and bam, not paying attention during a tension room of undead, mistake a grey z for a white z and para til death. :( |

Could you post a link to Darren's guide? Wasn't around when he posted it. Btw, bards are pretty cool, just won the game with a drakish bard yesterday. Really nice class, if you start with 7LB's and get Healing. For the Horde! |

It's on the forums here: http://adom.brinkster.net/forum/messages.asp?thread=5990&start=57841&page=1&tmp=58119 Still incomplete, but the only bit missing is the detailed pets section (which I may never build up enough willpower to do all the testing for). Bards are indeed great fun, but you have to be really careful with them in the beginning. After a few levels and a bit of PV you'll be running fine. I recommend staying in VD1/2 until you're level 8 at least before proceeding with the rest of the game. Screw all the early quests - they'll just get you killed.

I gotta say that bards are easily my favourite class, after the rough start its just a breeze through with lots and lots of luck. The current bard i'm playing with seems to be able to grasp melee, missile and magic easily.. Just so smooth and easy time :) About the guides, those are really great read. I get loads of inspiration and nice tips from these. Too bad people aren't too keen on writing them so I'm so very glad of the few around. Thanks |

I like bards too, but indeed, its all about luck You can start with great skillset but you can also find yourself with real crap. the same goes for the class powers. I remember that my ultra winner bard only got bridge building from its class power, and the only useful spell I got was farsight, which didnt help much. Nevertheless, the randomness factor is what make bards so much fun to play. |

yeah, bards are fun because of the many situations you dont know what you get. Incidently my last bard had a very fun misadventure: Library Ready down the rift he went and found himself after the fall with only one broken item: his climbingset :/ (I knew that could happen but was the first time it ever actually did) Nowhere near enough money to pay the ratling master trader I heded further down regardless, hoping for a dragon or 2 to speed up the earning process. I found that darn ratling quareling with a warlord of his kind, I panicked, shot, and ... well trader sorta stood in the way ... -_- Went up of course finding no climbing set in the rift, and decided to try in the High Kings dungeons cavernous levels, considering death by chaos piranhas should things get too frustrating. And one of the critters there drops a Rods!Saved! well... not really only 2 potions of ordinary water on me, non of them holy. But there is an altea r in the Rift dungeon. So back there(did you know you dont need a climbing set to go down the rift? It just breaks a lot more stuff) fall, land, water potions break. :( Died when a Berserker Emperor really misunderstood my question if he had a glass of water... |
