For Bards in Shadows of Luclin we’ll want to prioritize AC and +Attack. We’ll also pick up +8 Mana Regen in our Neck slot, and can optionally get more. We’ll also need a haste item. Additionally, in our Ranged Slot we can choose between 2 different instrument types that we can wear while still dual wielding our main weapons.

Clickies are generally not included. For Bard Clicky information check out the Bard Clicky Guide.

Below are stats you can expect with the gear below. Your results will vary depending on which items you choose, your race, and starting stats.

This character doesn’t have any +stat AA clickies (Mana/HP/Regen/Resists, etc) clicked, so if you have any of those add them onto this profile to estimate your stats.

If I missed a better item in any slot, feel free to let me know in Discord.
