looks very good mate. Only comment i could make is that although your power pool is very high, that % is only applied after your base power pool is calculated via your charisma score, so having uncapped charisma will mean your power pool bonus % wont quite give the same benefit it would otherwise. Cant see anything you can drop from your SC so probably best to keep it how you have it. It still looks good and chances are you will have more power than most bards out there anyway

Oh and watch out for thrust mercs and savages

 

[Fyric]

yeah the thrust issue is kinda bad.. im not gonna start making template until i figure out of savages will get banelord as 3rd ML line tbh :>

 

[Konah]

resists are generally pretty aweful, not bad for a first draft but keep trying!

 

[Fyric]

what resists exactly?

Heat Matter spirit is almost useless i would've liked energy abit higher.. but i figured if i stand 30 or 40 secs from sorc mezz we'll probably have lost by then anyway

1. you dont need all those hits
2. the too low resists:
Cold: 22 (Very much used so try cap it)
Heat: 4 (There might be more wizzys in next patch, because they are getting some more goodies)
Energy: 10 (Will reduce your mezz abit)
Spirit: 11+5 (just ~20%)
Crush: 23+2 (try cap it..)
Thrust: 15 (Scout adds and trust damage classes will kill you easy)

 

[Fyric]

i'd rather have 80 extra hits compared to 2-3% extra resists.. maybe thats just me.. but, keep in mind that i have CTR which adds overall resistance aswell
