My equipment exactly. :) Plus some +MP earings. Sorry I can't afford astral rings or monster signa. :)
I don't know if I agree with replacing any party member or class. :) I'm just like being an addition to a party, the person who enhances and makes them all better and the person who helps bring in the xp!
I leveled monk to 30, I was so bored with melee, I wanted to quit. I was planning to go dragoon.. but decided that more melee wasn't for me. I also leveled war to 10, for my sub. So I knew the feeling of the 2H wpn.. eek.. too slow!
Anyways, I decided to go Bard when I hit 30, I actually did the beastmaster quest too.. just because. :)
I leveled brd/bst to 7, solo.. then switched to brd/whm and have not looked back. Even as a galka, I'm having an absolute blast as bard! I solo'ed to 12, with an occasional party, then headed to the dunes where I jumped to 17 in a pretty short time frame. Every party I've been in since, I've gained new friends. :)
At the present time, with items, I actually have more MP as sub /whm then as primary whm/ :) Thanks items!!
I don't know what troubles you guys had solo'ing as brd? I haven't had any trouble at the present. I've fought evens in the dunes without trouble but maybe that's my galka HP working for me.
I'm trying to make the bard forums active. :) I spend most the day at work, reading up when I can't be playing.
