Rift Bard Builds

BARD

The Bard is a fountain of energy and movement. Their play style is support—dishing out mild damage while reducing the enemy's incoming damage, helping their allies with several types of buffs, and providing a consistent stream of healing. Though not an offensive destroyer, they can win a fight on their own with a bit of time. Strengths: The Bard is a support class with a number of buffs, debuffs and limited healing capabilities.  Weaknesses: They do not provide especially high damage, reactive "spike" or main healing, or the resilience of a tank soul
