DPS bard OP

please new video

[@Mikihsa]

Hi my friend ! I'm not playing Lost Ark anymore right now, so I have no idea to be honest. What I can tell you however, is that what allowed me to perform such a good DPS back then on dummy with my Bard, was all about spamming as many skills as possible during Boundless MP windows. You can notice how hard it is for me to maintain Boundless MP. Bards aren't exactly maintaining Boundless MP, but they do trigger it easily tho, the more you are able to keep that Boundless MP buff, the better it will be. With this in mind, you can adjust your skill tree using whatever new skill/set/passive/SetBonus who's legacy is Nightmare (boundless MP) Set effect and adjust your skills and bonus accordingly. For example, in this video I use Guardian Tune with Halved-CD tripod as a Mana Dumper for Boundless MP, and also because it's the strongest skills amongs beneficial spells that dump mana. One sure thing I can tell you : avoid anything that give you flat Mana Buffs or Mana Regen buff. For the rest, you take the greedy solo-gigabuffed Heavenly Tune that you gonna maintain 100% using Boundless MP. You can use Dominion as well or even mix of both, the only goal is to get an many CDR as possible so that you have 100% uptime on Heavenly Tune. Similar to how Soulfist works right ? Once you got this in mind, rest is just filling the 6 others Ability Slots with the most damaging spell/tripods/stuff of the moment and there you go ! I hope this comment has been helpful. PS : Key Gameplay component is to make sure you dump the mana and enter boundless MP state before using Heavenly Tune or other Big spells because CDR in Lost Ark is applied on cast. That make this build and class not an easy one to perform good on, maintaining and managing boundless MP add layers of difficulty, the same it does for Arcana or other Boundless enjoyers.

Can you share your tripods? I also tried in Trixion but didn’t do as much damage as you did… also are you using nightmare set? I noticed you don’t have mana issue as a swiftness bard.

[@Mikihsa]

Hello, tripods are essentially frontloaded, but I do indeed use Nightmare set. Technically I use 4nm + 2dom combo since you can maintain dominion buff with as little as 1700 swiftness, providing that you can your awakening in Boundless MP.

[@Mikihsa]

Ok since it's 2 of you guys I might re-do another video with more explications. So stay tune

[@sw33tm3]

@@Mikihsa I saw it’s recommend 4 dom + 2 nightmare in another guide. Do you prefer with 4 dominions? Thanks for the quick response!

[@Mikihsa]

@@sw33tm3 I don't know, BoundlessMP allows you to have 100% uptime on Heavenly Tune. Pretty sure both ways works. Also if you play 4dom you need C/J to get awakening CD lower than 2mn. Ultimately Boundless is harder to play and more constricting than Dominion, so it's totally fine to opt for 4dom insteed which might be more consistant. You might have mana issue tho.

Hello, ta vidéo m'a intriguée et j'ai tenté de reproduire à Trixion. T'aurais moyen de me passer les tripods et le set que tu as utilisé stp car j'attends pas les mêmes perf? Merci!

[@Mikihsa]

Salut ! J'ai un peu de retard ^^. Pour le set c'est 4pieces Cauchemar+ 2pieces Domination. Pour les tripods c'est assez frontloaded, je ne les ai plus en tête mais quand je me connecterais dans la semaine sur la Barde j'essayerai de penser à faire une petite video. Le principe du build c'est de jouer Boundless MP (Barde est une classe avec des couts en mana très élevés, mais honnetement c'est beaucoup plus facile à Trixion qu'en situation réelle ^^) pour pouvoir maintenir 100% d'uptime sur le buff Domination et sur Mélodie Célèste. La Chevrotine Rythmé peut être remplacé par Guardian Tune (niveau 10 avec le tripod qui divise le CD par deux) qui en plus d'être un très bon mana-burn skill est un outil défensif très puissant qui offre un push-immune-button. La skill priority c'est Mélodie Célèste > Mélomane > Sonatine > Stigma > Vibration > Reste, sachant qu'on cherche à exploiter au maximum le push-immune fourni par Vibration Sonique et Chevrotine/Mélodie du Gardien donc on utilisera si possible ces skill pour s'enraciner dans le sol et éviter les mise-à-terre sans forcement devoir courir partout. BoundlessMP + Dominion (36% de CDR) en combinaison avec les 1700 de Swiftness font de ce build un build very-high-APM "Piano" donc c'est vraiment essentiel de respecter strictement une bonne priorité sur les spells.
