stats for my bardFollow

Ok hello everyone I'd like 2 check on my 16 bard's stats they are:
Str 83
Sta 80
Agi 81
Dex 97
[Orange][/Orange]
These are bases. I'm makin into a mixture of tank DD and manna battery. Sorta a mixture of them all I plan on gettin dex to 100 and then sta 90 folowed by str and agi sound good? This is supposed to be a future Bravo or Gypsy (not sure which). Thank you.

Personally, I think your agility is a little low. Once you get your first power spell you will probably agree with me.

Agreed.

Once you start using your power path abilities (making an assumption that yer going power path) you'll need all the PoT/Power you can get. The power spells are great for your group, but the catch is that you as a Bard will only ever break even on them. That being said, don't neglect STR/DEX though. They can sort of be put on the back burner until you get your AGI/STA to the level you want, however, because your anthem buff will make that up somewhat. And if you ever decide to go Minstrel, eventually you'll need to consider CHA (long term eventuality here) but don't go overboard on it as its benefits are not mind-blowing.

If any experienced bards out there contradict what I said in relation to anything past lvl 30 or so...(heck even pre-30) believe them over me. Only 29 seasons on bard as of yet, but I like to read up and plan ahead and this seems to be the general consensus of the most useful/least painful way to build a bard.

Cheers!

Edit: Oh, Gypsy requires 200 STA/AGI base and 150 DEX/STR base so keep that in mind too. The two MCs you mentioned both need that high STA/AGI base.
