Smallest channel I’ve seen that’s insanely informative. Actually providing real answers to what stats do, giving applicable situations that they are needed, etc. So far my favorite Dark and Darker channel. Keep it up!
Today was the first day I actually THOUGHT on how to build my kit and optimize. Until today I just used and bought the pieces with stats that seemed good (hp, movespeed, etc) but without looking at what I was building. So todau I opened the wiki and noticed the breakpoints and got the clue, go for those. Though this info on max rolls for secondary stats vs primary stats in chest/legs and in head/gloves,feet is super useful. This is exactly the key info I needed to understand to what really makes a good piece of gear and what are the optimal enchants per piece. I literally bought today a Green Templar armor piece that had +2 strength, now I know a max +health roll or phys power would be much better. Thank you very much for the video, saving this for future reference. Earned a sub
amazing content, would like to see more about which is better true phys or phys power for each class and just more info in stuff the game doesnt really telll you in a simple manner.
Good suggestion! Just remember the rare enchants like true and additional physical damage are better than physical power which is a non-rare enchant. The reason they limited those rare enchants was because they were too strong when stacked.
Very good question! This will also apply to weapons and shields: The enchantments on instruments are only counted when you have the instrument/weapon/shield equipped. So if you are running a rapier and buckler, and in your secondary slot you have a crossbow with weapon damage on it, the weapon damage of the crossbow won't be added to the rapier, since it only applies when you have the crossbow out. Another example is for clerics who want magical healing, you might see a Mace weapon that has magical healing and think it is great, but remember a Cleric can only cast heal with their spellbook out, so any enchantments on the Mace won't apply to their healing. On the flipside, magical healing on the book would be perfect. To answer your question now, for Bards, the enchantments don't really matter because they are only active when you have the instrument out and you will only have it out temporarily to play the song. The best enchantment on instruments then would be Buff Duration Bonus because the duration of your buff will be calculated when the song is played so you can add a few seconds to your buffs if you have that enchantment on the instrument. You will also find that the most expensive instrument will be Drums with Buff Duration enchantment since adding even one second to your accelerando+allegro duration can be a game changer. Memory use to be a good one to have, but now that Lute has base Knowledge, you get free memory from the Lute so you don't have to hunt down memory enchantments on the other instruments. Just make sure to put the Yellow Songs last in the song list so that when you take your Lute out, it will extend your total memory. This lets you min-max how many songs you can run. I showcase the optimal song order in my latest video titled "Wipe Day Bard Guide". Hope that answers your question.

This video is really outdated after the latest enchantment updates, but some of the logic is still relevant. Happy you enjoyed it regardless!

First?
Also nice guide keep up the good content
Amazing video, loving the min/max content!
Let me know what type of content you guys want to see next!
Graves content
Would love an in-depth guide on Bard, as it seems to be the most complex or multi faceted. But so far, any content is good content!
For Bard, how relevant are the instrument enchants? and what are the first choices
