What use is the capped buffbonus for you, McK? Bard baseline buffs cap at around 12% buffbonus with 43 nurture. You get uber spec AF (75x1.24=93AF) from items though!

And I agree that GSV is quite essential in a bard template.

My bard has 18% buffbonus, 43+7 nurt and my con buff still doesnt cap :l

heat is much lower than mine and i wouldnt risk to have it lower than 20+ since next patch fire wizzys gonna be a suprise dmg dealing mage and most important for me.

and this is true, in 1.83 firewizzy's nuke so hard its unreal, they're worse than bainshee now

You all over-estimate the fire wiz situation. Alb groups are fucked in the sense it is incredibly hard for them to fit everything into a 8 man gg.

are generally the only guys that fit into competitive set grps because they offer certain utility along with their essentials ie. caba offers nearsight (which is better than wiz's as tri-spec, disease), theurg offers unbeatable interrupts and sorc offers CC. You will see wiz's in PuG's but you should have no problem with PuG's. They may appear in a few set grps but then again, if your letting a caster free-cast on you then your a twit who deserves to die.

Iwan not bad template but i cant see in any way thats better than the one i posted. U do have higher spell duration and a bit of charisma. But overall u miss 3% power pool , heat is much lower than mine and i wouldnt risk to have it lower than 20+ since next patch fire wizzys gonna be a suprise dmg dealing mage and most important for me. U havent capped buff bonus. Most people say its not needed anyway but i guess is to what people likes and i do prefer to have it capped. One thing more though: i wouldnt imagine myself as bard and w/o gsv as vest. Sorry but thats just my opinion. The proc is sooo good to miss out and these templates are all about tricks.Just a difriend opinion ofc.

mine has egg and spell duration, yours have better resists and gsv... not sure whats best
I cap dex with 8% buffbonus in template im currently running... 3 point from cap on con but i dont care of those 10 hps tbh

 

[Mckennitt]

Im thinking the same thing although we can argue for years cause templates are based to whatever anyone likes tbh. For me no gsv on bard --> no bard go cook a spaggeti instead.

by that logic, drop any spell resis? -.-

Strange... I think I'm only missing 1pt from base concap (62) and I only have 11%BB and 43+3 nurt

last spot can be anything and the grp will work great it can be either interupt damage or cc'er

iirc base buffs are affected by +skill so that could be the reason @ the buff issue.
