Well met. Nice to meet a fellow troubador-to-be ... I'll be beginning my adventure on Antonia Bayle today as Challin in Freeport. Looking forward to exploring this class and seeing just where it goes. I bet there will be some nice surprises.Challin Songrunner

Are Troubadors less common than Dirges, or are Bards just rare in general? I am currently leaning towards Troubador; luckily I do not have to make my final choice until level 20 :smileyvery-happy:

![]() On the troubador path myself. I always viewed my bard as the one that makes a group perform at it's best, so it's an easy choice for me. I find more similarities between the Archetypes/class/sub-class sets in EQ2 when compared to the EQ Online Adventures for PS2. More similar in fact than they seem to be with EQ1. My wife and I have played both of those games to the point of making our ears bleed, with lots of focus on bards. So for us it's an interesting thing to see all three sets. In Brief... in EQOA, you started off as a class, so say bard. You leveld up and you earned alternate points, similar to AA points in EQ1. You could spend those on various abilities that upped stats, gave certain abilities, etc. When you collected the right sets of those abilities, you can then use points to buy your final or prestiege class such as Minstrel or Bravo (their versions of Troubador and Dirge), with one focusing on general buffs and power regen and one focusing on combat specific buffs. There were quest choices you made at 10, 20, 30, 40 that defiend your bard along the power or combat path. Made for extra flavor in our opinion. The "EQ Evolution of the Bard" would be a study worth reading heh. We kind of view bards as the only truly unique class in EQ1, since it followed it's own rules and method of how magic worked. It's a little dissappointing to lose the uniqueness of how bardic magic works in EQ2 but getting away from wrist-crunching twisting was a necessary thing. |

I haven't decided which ill go and have 9 more levels to decide. Did you find that Troubadors were more wanted than Dirge? |

![]() The main differences between troubador and dirges are minor. Dirges have a non-combat rez, use disease damage and their siphon spells restore their hps. Troubadors can mez, use mental damage and their siphon spells restore their power. There are other differences but these are the big ones. Also Dirges at lvl 40 have illusion: Dark Elves while Troubadors have illusion: High Elf. Troubadors get a health regen song and "I think" (but definitely not sure) Dirges dmg songs might be a bit more powerful.. making them more offensive. It all comes down to personal preference.. I chose Troubador because of mez to be honest. Troubadors get their potent mez at level 50 though.. so keep that in mind. We get a charm type spell at like level 26 (didn't check exact level yet so don't quote me) which probably acts like a mez though. Valcutio, Najena Server, Officer of Lost Souls, Legend.. in his own mind. |

Add me to the list. I will be a Troubador as soon as I can find this "meeting" in South Qeynos for the Troubador quest. I am hoping that server instability last night was the reason I was having so much trouble finding it.Yerkich19 (soon to be Troubador) BardPermafrost Server

![]() You think that's bad? Dirges only get to make people cry. In beta it was horrible.. I would run over to someone (you didnt have to be grouped with them) and make them cry. It was the most boring animation.. ever. - Valcutio / Bladezilla - King of Najena, Voted Sexiest Troubador Ever, Legend and Hero of the people. |
