The Bard's guide and advice on Lost Ark

Written by : Mundr Tribe

PRESENTATION :

Bienvenue dans ce guide sur la Barde , l’une des classes de l’archétype Mage.
Let's start with the basics: the Bard is a support mage, and you have the ability to use her as a dps, but that's not what we're looking for first and foremost. She'll have a "Last resort" engraving, which will be her support engraving, and you'll have a "Valiant heart" engraving, which will enable you to be a dps, but we'll come back to that a little later.

La barde étant dans l’archétype mage, elle va avoir un gameplay semi-distance attention cependant à votre robustesse , vous allez pouvoir mettre ‘’ Equipement d’armure lourde ‘’ qui permettra de contrer son manque de robustesse. Pour donner un peu plus de concret voici le tableau :

ENGRAVING 1: Last resort

Dernier recours is the engravure that will allow you to have the gameplay support, your gameplay will revolve around the heal that Dernier recours brings, to the last tick of your heal zone you will bring a big heal boost.

Niveau 1 : a la fin de l’incantation de Aria healing vous générez 8% de votre maximum d’hp
niveau 2 : a la fin de l’incantation de Aria healing vous générez 16% de votremaximum d’hp
niveau 3 : a la fin de l’incantation de Aria healing vous générez 24% de votre maximum d’hp

Here's a build and an explanation, but don't forget that the predefined builds can be changed as you wish. Nevertheless, some spells will be more or less mandatory depending on the update or boss you launch, so keep an eye out for new patches so you can modify your spells in real time.

spell 1: Sound shock is an orb that you project onto the target, with a group buff to inflict 10% of additional damage for 2 seconds.
Spell 2: Wind of music is an aoe that will be sent around you, this spell shields your allies up to 28% of their maximum hp.
Spell 3: Sound wave vibration is an aoe orb that adds 15% of attack power for 2 sec, depending on your attack power, and 6% of additional attack power.
Spell 4: Sound holic , your only monocible spell on the bard you project a huge beam to be sent in the back
Spell 5: Ouverture of storm is an aoe spell that must be sent from the back and has a tripod that greatly increases your resource intake.
sort 6 : Heavenly performance est un sort de soutien , le tripod 2 vous permettra d’augmenter la vitesse d’attaque de 8% et sur le tripods 3 15% de puissance d’attaque dépendant de votre puissance d’attaque et 6% de puissance d’attaque complémentaire attention toutefois vous ne pouvez pas cumuler sound wave vibration et heavenly performance , pensez à lancer séparément les sorts
Spell 7: Harp of Rhytm is a harp that you place on the ground. Beware, however, that it is fixed, so remember to place it at the right moment.
Sort 8 : Indomitable Performance est un sort de soutien , le tripods 1 vous permet de créer une invulnérabilité à l’interruption et à la projection. le tripods 2 vous permet de créer un shield équivalent à 18% de votre max de pull d’hp pendant 8 secondes , votre tripod 3 créer une immunité au contrôle.

As you can see, today's bards have an enormous number of support spells. The bard is a highly sought-after class, and even if she isn't indispensable (no class is), her contributions to the group are more than enough to justify her place.

I then allow myself to add to you what you could have rune level:

Let's move on to the combat statistic to be prioritized:
You have 2 options!

Spec 70% / 30% speed
Speed 70% / 30% special

Spec will increase your resource generation, Speed will increase your speed and reduce the recharge time of your spells.

Once accumulated, your utility will enable you to heal or boost the damage of your allies. However, it is generally estimated that for heal you will use a single string or three strings for the damage boost.

ENGRAVING 2: Valiant heart

Coeur vaillant is the bard's least-used engraving, but it's worthwhile spending your bard on dps if you want to make solo or very high-level content. Don't forget, however, that you'll be more appreciated in groups with the last-resort engraving.

You have to take into account that to activate brave heart you will have to use Serenade de valor, which initially brings you 15% of damage and during 8/12/16sec 5%/10%/15% of damage (depending on the number of ropes you going to use )

Level 1: in addition to valor serenade, you increase your critical chance by 10% and 10% of damage
Level 2: in addition to serenade of valor, you increase your critical chance by 10% and 15% of damage
level 3: in addition to the serenade of valor, you increase your critical chance by 10% and 20% of damage

from a stats point of view, it all looks strong but the bard's problem is that with only one monocible spell and the rest in aoe that must be put on the ground, it's very difficult to perform against a real dps (but not impossible).

spell 1: Sound shock is an orb that you project onto the target, with a group buff to inflict 10% of additional damage for 2 seconds.
Spell 2: Dissonance is an aoe, the ground area reduces movement speed by 60% for 1 sec
spell 3: Stigma is an aoe
spell 4: Sound wave vibration is an aoe orb
spell 5: Sound holic , your only monocible spell on the bard you project a huge beam to be sent in the back
Spell 6: Ouverture of storm is an aoe spell that must be sent from the back and has a tripod that greatly increases your resource intake.
Sort 7 : Heavenly performance est un sort de soutien , le tripod 2 vous permettra d’augmenter la vitesse d’attaque de 8% et sur le tripods 3 15% de puissance d’attaque dépendant de votre puissance d’attaque et 6% de puissance d’attaque complémentaire
Spell 8: Prelude to death: you place a mark on enemies, and if they die, you create an explosion within a 3-meter radius.

As you can see, the dps bard has a problem... The monocible can still be played, however, with perseverance and, above all, with sufficient optimization.
