Boss Token (BT) Cost: 50 Boss Tokens.
Summary: Here’s a pure bard build I made that (in my opinion) works well and is simple to achieve for fairly fresh players (BTs for subrace and nordock gear highly encouraged).
The song cap can be reached with 2 bard rings, and a basic nord offset, by singing twice the first time. Ranged is chosen as rapid shot can be used to mitigate APR problems and get you back to a standard 5.
AC is 87 with song (med skin), effectively 91 with curse. AB is 62 when using war cry and rapid shot, effectively 70 with curse.
I left skills off for builder’s discretion, but obviously perform/tumble/disc are good picks, and taunt is an easy choice as song/curse make everything easy to taunt.
Also I like to take 1 point dips in a couple of trained skills as bard song makes them +20 more by default.
