  • Wind Torque

    Anyone have any idea what is worth more the +3chr from "Bird whistle" / "Star Pendant" or the +7 Wind instrument skill from the "Wind Torque"

    I want to belive that +7 skill should do more but don't have much experience in skill + items with a bard. it seems to do wonders for Whm/Rdm's thou when it comes to resists with Enfeebling spells

    maybe you should get it. my friend (a brd) told me that wind instrument skill is a c skill for a bard (i thought all brds had at least an a in all instruments)

      yup its a C skill so if going on that +Wind instrument for a Bard should do even more than + Enfeebling for an Rdm/Whm

      well just bought it of the AH for 260k, hehe i really hope it will be worth it

        Yep, thats probably the best Bard item with the Minstrel Coat. +7 String is about 10 times better than any CHR boost acheivable in this game.

          hmm minstrel coat isnt much better at all..... the errant equip has +10 chr and im guessing likem ost other stats +2 chr = +1 sing skill so if the minstrel coat gives +3 to the skill the errant armor is better....

          That torque is really good though- probably the best neck item for bard, i also use the star necklace some times though for the mp boost. on my server the torque is like 500k, kind of a big expense, but i did just plop down quite a bit of money on 2Xmelody earrings anyway ; ;

            Nope.. 2 CHR != 1 Singing Skill

            I tested this. I put on my +32 CHR Equips. SANG (no instrument) Minuet IV. it gave XX Boost to Attack. Took off all my +32 CHR Equips. Waited for the song to wear off. SANG Minuet IV again. it gave the same XX Boost to attack that I got with +32 CHR.

            I also tested this with instruments.

              Yes CHR does not affect singing skill at all. Chr is for landing elegy/threnody/lullaby/requiem. Boost from songs is determined by your skill in wind or string instruments.

              That neck item is awesome! grats on a great purchase.. let us know how you like it^^

                +3 Wind skill is far more usefull than +10 CHR. Not only it increase your chances to land your songs but it also increase the power of your buff songs like Minuet, something CHR can't do.

                  Buy it! the difference is very noticable. I bought it and used it after i level to 65, before i level i can only land about 5 carnage elegy/threnody out of 10, after i level and use the torque, i can land about 8 elegy/threnody out of 10.

                  I bought it for 550k btw :sweat:
