Couple posts down is the adjusted template, pls look there

Well, like topic says, I could use some advice on the template below. It probably will need some adjusting, so don't refrain from commenting.

Ok, easy one to spot: +emp is totally worthless. Empathy does nothing for a Bard, so get rid of that and replace it with +char to cap that. Then it's easier to check only for stat-caps with 2-handed slot enabled, since you'll be wielding drum or lute most of the time.
Apart from that it looks very nice :)

First I dunno how your bard is specced so this could all be wrong, but here goes:-

str 34 / blades 8 - do you ever fight at all? Some str is ok for lifting stuff and not getting rooted with str debuff, so i gues 34 str is ok, not sure you need the blades, unless you are a 'battle bard' in which case both of these should be capped before anything.

dex is overcap by a fair way, some re- think might save you the imbue.
qui could do with being higher, evade is good, esp if you get dodger or something, not a great priority tbh.
char needs capping if possible, all bard stuff is char based.
emp well lol, zero it, not used.
power 10 - dont bother or put it on a lower priority, power gives very little return.

resits are ok, maybe up the ones that are a little behind if u can, cold / energy, dont worry about heat so much if you need to compromise.

13 reg, 4 nurture... Regwroth spec is overcap, im not sure nurture spec does anything at all for a bard (someone tell me im wrong).
3 music spec or so (assuming 47 base music) might bring your music to 50 for better dmg bracket for shouts vs lvl 50 opponents.


Oh and base your spec on only one item in your hand (im not sure if this readout is 1h+shield+2h all equipped or what), youll need the same SC on your sword/drum/lute/flute for it to work tbh, and then use any shield (or imbue the shield and use any sword), though I guess you could have str/blades on your s/s side and lose them for more resists or something with instruments if u need.

lose the hawthornwood ring and white crystal bracer for sure .

K, been changing some stuff after reading your replies. Been switching l/r hands with 2h (noting that 2h is most used). The Jewelry remains the same, except for a 2nd ws bracer instead of the White Crystal Bracer.
