2. If you found Bard to be boring at not challenging, try to raise your standard. Try to make your party members have full MP at all times. This will help you not to fall asleep while Barding in party. Especially in a long party (4 hours+).

5. The Sub

You can use any build as your sub but my sub is Wizard. I was a pure Bard until lvl 4X and made Wizard as a sub to make myself more versatile in a party. It is all about what you want to contribute in your party.

Why Sub?

1. It is important to be able to switch role when needed. When the party lacks wizard, I will switch to it if there is another bard around.

2. To solo when there is no party around or to do a quick quest.

3. To powerlvl / powerparty friends or union members. No doubt wizards is the best at powerlvling, with 4 constant AOE's it can be the fastest powerlvling build in the game.

4. Uniques kill. You will have higher chances to get theSilk Road Gold or to get your party the kills with wizard. More damage = more chances to get it.

My Wizard Skill List and Skill Bars

To make it easier, just get the maxed ones. You might think I have more wizard skills than Bard skills. It is true because wizard have more useful skills to maxed. For me, I want to be good at both builds that is why I have all the skills needed maxed. Personally I dont call wizard as my sub as I have both of it maxed.

My role in a party is different when I switch to wizard. Bard is about the support, wizard is all about damage. Choose your role or let the party choose it for you. It is all about how you want to contribute to the party.

SP Needed

SP needed to get all the maxed skills for both Bard and Wizard at lvl 80 is 430,474
