So I made a Bard. It got 440k sp so far. But the question is which sub should I take? I'm doubting between Wizard and Warlock (Is the grammar in that sentence right? I dunno.) - Warlock seems like most fun to me. - Where as Wizard is great at damage dealing, and I love high numbers in my screen

warlock seems a better idea since bard/wizard doesnt have any 'defense' skill, maybe beside the phy abso skill from wizard which wont be enough in pvp.
at least bard/warlock have hp leech and stun/sleep and debuffs to help you defend.
but why not bard/cleric?

Bard/Cleric is boring. Not enough attack skills to make up for the amount of sp you'll have to use. I'd go Bard/Wiz.

Group pvp is far from boring with it. Clericing is great fun and so is barding.

I'm making that. Got 40k sp from ongs, gonna close my gap and see how i like it. If it's good i'll farm the rest of the way at penons. It is the ultimate buffer. And if you do wiz, don't take area nukes.... kinda ruins the purpose of a bard, avoiding being hit.

I think I'll get Warlock as sub. I love the skills and I won't need cleric since I get HP Leech from Warlock. And TBH a Bard can kill giants/pt mobs also without cleric

if u go bard/wizard youll lvl VERY quicly, and youlll be able to teleport whenevr you want
if u go bard/warlock you can also level quickly (dots and moving march) and youll own at pvp but its a lot of sp...

Nah, if it's going to be warlock then it'll have the attacks also. and Warlock/Bard-Bard/Warlock is 700k sp farm at the ongs. Warlock/Cleric = 850k

Bard/Cleric- Very useful in parties, soloing is somewhat slower, PvP is pretty good, killing giants/pt mobs is easy (if you can kill it under 45 seconds, after that it might be a little challenging)
Bard/Wizard- Great damage, soloing is very fast IF you are using wiz nukes, PvP is just 1 hit kill or get 1 hit killed, giants and pt mobs around your level are risky.
Bard/Warlock- Soloing is kinda fast, you get zerk very fast, PvP is excellent (if you know how to of course, don't think of powerlvling you char to 90 and trying to own in pvp.. lol). Giants/pt mobs aren't hard, but again, you have to be quick with your fingers, Trap+ sleep helps a lot. Debuffs help at killing giants too, aswell do dots and stun.
IMO Bard/Warlock would be the most fun to play with. Bard/Cleric can be fun too if there are a lot of parties in your server.
And to the people who say warlock can heal their own hp; there are only 2 skills that do that (afaik, dunno if there are more at higher lvls), and the hp recovered is very small. Its mostly used to get disease status on the foe.

Please don't give wrong info. You WILL NOT RD when tambouring. RD takes agro, A LOT of it. And the tambour will keep falling, meaning the dance will keep falling, meaning the second tambour will keep falling causing the party to fail.
About the topic, I was thinking of creating a Lock/Bard and I'm still waiting for replies still on my post on another forum =)[/quote]
I'm still thinking between Lock/Bard or Lock/Cleric... =\

I guess noise + speed can help while solo grinding but you don't need noise a lot since warlocks can tank 3+ hits (depends if you have sub cleric). If you don't mind having to buy speed pots, i would go warlock/cleric. Pretty fun to play with and getting the zerk speed bonus every 1-2 minutes rocks :] also Warlock/Cleric can do a better job in 1vs1 pvp and at fighting giants. If you are picking bard for your main mastery, i guess trap > sleep > debuff > bard attacks would kill pretty fast too, and dot mob > run > dot > run would be fun with bard/locks since they have super running speed.

The entire point of adding cleric is for the bard's surviveability, not so the party can have a fake cleric....

It actually depends on your own choice of "FUN". What would be fun to use? leveling or not, it is what you would like to play in the game that matters.

bardlock just cuz its actually unique and fun grinding would be fast and pvp would be sleep debuff and then bard nukes dont forget they are the fastest attacks and in FW if you have another bard you do dmg increase im sure there will be a cleric in any situation you play in its not hard to find one sucks no one makes bardlocks or videos

Err, I dont see the point of using RD & barding at the same time? you need to recast RD every 5 minutes, this means the dances & tambours going down every 5 minutes O.o

I would go bardlock because if you choose wizard you will probably finish playing wizard more then a bard. Bardlock is very good you can stun,debuff and then use fast nukes from bard but Warlock/cleric is even better choose,one of the funniest builds,can kill party mobs,giants, whatever he wants, and he really pwn in pvp only problem about him is big amount of sp needed.

Soloing is not slow though, you have high speed and sort of high survivability with fast casting bard nukes. This would be a pretty good battle bard, good defense, can ress, can cast bless, recovery division, healing cycle/orbit. This would certainly be a good choice for a battle bard.
Bard/Wizard- Great damage, soloing is very fast IF you are using wiz nukes, PvP is just 1 hit kill or get 1 hit killed, giants and pt mobs around your level are risky. I'd never suggest this for a battle bard.

Giants/pt mobs aren't hard, but again, you have to be quick with your fingers, Trap+ sleep helps a lot. Debuffs help at killing giants too, aswell do dots and stun. Agree and this would certainly be a good choice. Warlock is really fun in my opinion.
IMO Bard/Warlock would be the most fun to play with. Bard/Cleric can be fun too if there are a lot of parties in your server.
And to the people who say warlock can heal their own hp; there are only 2 skills that do that (afaik, dunno if there are more at higher lvls), and the hp recovered is very small. Its mostly used to get disease status on the foe. I believe the hp you recover for a full int is pretty good, though for a str it's low. But I agree it's mostly used for getting disease. Also, in my opinion bard/warlock would be more of a 1vs1 pvp battle bard, while bard/cleric would do better at group pvp. The best sub for your battle bard would be what you prefer/like. So, summarizing, the ones I'd suggest to you go for a battle bard would be either bard/warlock or bard/cleric.
