<DIV> <P><SPAN>hello I started a bard recently and am now 17 levels in what I intend to go troub for the caster buffs and the rareness factor plus I really want  a scout as I have one toon in each of the other archietypes and they have some neat skills.  Can anyone tell me of a site other than the ep2players one that gives info on skills and what needs to be upgraded to adept 3 also have the big question of max out Int or STR or balance both?</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN></SPAN> </P> <P><SPAN>Any help would be useful</SPAN></P></DIV><p>Message Edited by Meeb on <span class=date_text>12-15-2005</span> <span class=time_text>05:48 AM</span>

<P>Regarding Stats:</P> <P>INT helps our spell damage and is more beneficial to a troubador if he ever plans to stay ranged to avoid AEs.  Str is good for the melee portion of our CAs, but I really don't think it's as effective as INT is in the long run.  Because I fight in a variety of ways, I choose to focus on INT, AGI and STR in that order.</P> <P>If you hope to play a troubador for DPS reasons, you're going to be disappointed.</P>

I focus in the opposite way. I focus on STR, then AGI, and then INT. I like being able to take a hit, if I need to.

<P>The scout sanctuary (<A href="http://www.thescoutssanctuary.com/troubadour.php)" target=_blank>http://www.thescoutssanctuary.com/troubadour.php)</A> has a nice list of our spells and, at the bottom of the page, the upgrade paths of the different lines of spells.</P> <P>Concerning agi, str and int, i try to have them balanced as much as i can, but focusing in AGI and INT when in doubt.  Imo STR can easily be buffed by various classes and my autoattack dmg is far away from the other scouts.  My usual role in raids is in caster group so they do more dmg when my int is higher.</P>
