FYI:
- Not optimal: Playing "Rousing Rhythms" back to back in the beginning of the sequence of songs played.
- Optimal: Playing "Rousing Rhythms" once at the beginning of the sequence and once at the end of the sequence.
Reason: It isn't mentioned in this video, but all the songs in the sequence have a maximum base duration of 120 seconds when played perfectly, while "Rousing Rhythms" has a maximum base duration of 90 seconds when played perfectly. These values and more details can be found in the Dark and Darker wiki.
Once in the beginning because it affects the songs you play as follows:
+2 dexterity -> play songs faster
+2 resourcefulness -> played songs last longer
Once in the end because:
The +2 resourcefulness now also applies to the "Rousing Rhythms" song, which if not played once more at the end, would have been even shorter for the shortest song because of its 90 second maximum base duration.
Hi i am a new bard player, i have a question, resourcefullness scales buff duration?
@@Jadriandnd No. Resourcefulness scales your song duration. The song duration affects everyone the song applies to (you and your team or enemies) while buff duration only applies to yourself. You can notice that a teammate of yours that has a lot of Will (and therefore a higher buff duration than you) will have the songs that have been applied to them, expire slower than they do for you.
@@ercagcan7502 songs are buffs brother
@@Jadriandnd I know, but your question was if resourcefulness scaled buff duration. The answer is no.
@@ercagcan7502 gotcha thank you
The druid dying to spikes was PEAK comedy
You're about to finally pop off now that Dark and Darker is back on steam. Good to see you get the views you deserve, one of the best bard players mechanically imo
YAMI THE GOAT. Thank you so much for the guide, I played wizard all last wipe and got really discouraged after multiclass. Decided to roll Bard this wipe and I am loving it. This guide helped tremendously.
❤️❤️❤️
I died when i saw that rat die to spikes
I was just vibing as a rat not attacking just existing and someone threw a Molotov at my head! D:
ive seen 3 rats die to the fire traps, i died laughing.
@@GabberGabberGijs good.
for me it was when he tries to throw the drum at the rat lmao
Yessir, thank you for this video! Just what I was looking for
fantastic guide thanks for recommending it :D
Y4mi bout to get that 10k SUBS, great video bro, lfg!
❤️❤️❤️
"so basically.. I have no life" All I needed to hear to know you're Certified 🥇
thx for the Video. I started to play Bard too as solo now and im still learning. i managed to learn troll and cyclops to kill them fast eneugh. but one thing i think that will be good. is adding the piercing shrill. ( i think its called that ) becous the 25 true damage are alwayse nice to have when they camp behind the doors and also when you fight agains a druid and they go in to rat form they will instantly die the range on that is really wide. maybe think about it or wat are your thoughts about it ?
other than that great video thanks again. alwayse happy to see guids and new videos from you :)
If you play Allegro or Accelerando (the 8 second drum buffs) at the end of your rotation they'll remove all of your musical note auras after the 8 seconds are up. If you don't purge them like this, you can't hide in shadows because the notes are luminous.
It looks like this isn't super relevant for your playstyle, but coming from Rogue I really like the option to extinguish some torches and get the drop on someone.
Sidenote for other new players, potions also glow in the dark so if you want to hide make sure to move them off your belt/utility slots. You can equip them while you're running for no movement penalty so it's a good habit to get into. Even if you're not in shadows potions are so bright it makes it really easy to spot you across a big room or through cracks in the scenery.
You play songs, ,ou are the loudest claas in the whole game.
you are not a sneaky little guy who can hide anywhere, while you are playing dubstep on your drum xdd
@@vajas6656 Your shortest buff song lasts for minimum 90 seconds, but realistically it's more like 95-100 which is plenty of time to move a room or two and get a couple bow shots on an unsuspecting target, or open the engagement with Languor for free or whatever. Or even just stay hidden in the shadows if it's not a fight you can win. You're not playing your drum the whole time and even when you are it doesn't *literally* alert the whole map. It's only audible 1 or 2 sectors away depending on the size.
@@vajas6656 You can be, but not if you have that mentality.
@@Fofo-sr2xu you have flyin notes around you, you can be sneaky, just saying, its not your primary strenght + i was just joking, but it seemes you get triggered bye it
Do you know what i was talking about?
My points bard isnot a rogue:
- Bard is not a rogue
- He plays funky and loud music
- Without buffs, you are a weaker fighter, so you need to constantly buff yourself
- Bard doesn't have perks, that silences his footsteps or gives invisibility without making sound
- Bard isn't a rogue
Thanks for the guide man, was trying to find the bard tech for ages.
the crash part is a nice touch lololololol
Y4mi is very cute today 😂
HUH?! 🧐
And brea..thtakingly good at explaining bard :3
hehehehe stahppp
Hey Yami. You are really underestimating bard. Saying at zero gear you only have 14 mem cap and therefore cant take the songs you recommended is just wrong. By taking Storyteller you get +3 taking you to 17 mem cap. Then by simply having rousing rythms up you have the 19 mem cap you wanted for your initial build. I also think Harmonic Shield is way overrated for what it does (15 armor rating and 15 mr)
i didn’t think storyteller was good but maybe ur right. still on the fence w harmonic shield but i feel like it’s good if ur doing a pdr build like me
Not to mention the lutes grant knowledge.
@@theturtleking4205 Yeah true, You can put any lute songs last into your wheel to increase your effective memory capacity further, with a green lute you can take alacrity and languor which are really the only two good lute songs for free.
Chaotic discord was all I used when bard first came out lol. On ruins I’d just aggro every mob and make them fight eachother. Was a fun time
A Yami video a day makes the voices in my head go away. :D
Rousing Rhythm sounds like the Drums of Liberation :O
16:46 is the sound I made when I saw that you posted this video 🥵
keep in mind, u can only skip 2 notes in harmonic shit if u hit all the notes on the orange bar
When I first started playing Bard, I used Encore and always had Harmonic Shield last in my rotation so it could just play it for me.
Also, if you've got ADHD and you're not sure which class you want to play, play Bard. You are _always_ doing something.
yooo this explains so much why i am so attracted to playing bard!! I am diagnosed adhd
@@cainliang8302 👉😉👉 I'm here for you. When I can remember to be so.
Hey Y4mi ever encountered moments when you play all the notes perfectly but nothing happens ?
Maybe internet issues ?
yeah i never had any problems sorry ::
This bro deserve a million subs
Thank u very much for this kind of content, I love it!
slaughters many, saves one... sins absolved
Just started bard, thanks for the guide y4mi
W video as always 😎
Great video, you should add chapters though, it would've been really useful!
yo he actually made the guide? Lets fucking go!?? I thought you didn't want to haha
I’m pretty sure Allegro and Accelerando give triple their base buff. So Allegro is an 18% action speed buff. It just takes two seconds into the buff to stack up. I know this is an older video/guide though so not sure if this is relevant or known now.
The T1 Sub... LOVE YOU YAMI
Have you considered using knowledges gloves or boots for the base kit so you can cast more songs?
@Y4mi Lore Mastery gives you more Regular Interaction speed than Fermata, 24.7 vs 19.6. Both together give you 44.6% Regular Interaction Speed. Unless we're talking about camp fires and traps that Resourcefulness gives you... :D
buckers can roll with + weapon damage fyi bro, I normally pick up 1 weapon damge +3% PDR for cheap. Armor rating and wpn dmg is expensive though
Would love to see some duos with you an thelorr again, he's been playing ranger so i think it would be a good video
Yeah that guy you killed in the beginning was me, Amphisbaena lmao I remembered your name
sorry ❤️
it helped me a lot, thanks
infinite buffs or a set number allowed per game? do you need to conserve and space buffs out or just reapply whenever you want?
infinite uses
wherever whenever, as long as were together
does persuasiveness also increase the duration of stuff like song of silence, peacemaker or shriek of weakness? cause these are debuffs i was unsure if those are affected
If you skip 2 notes in Unchained Harmony, but only get 3 perfects and 1 okay, landing you a "crappy performance" will that not unlock doors?
I think it does if I remember correctly
yes it does.
@@TheMetasora I only ask because that is a pretty important detail to add to this video. You only care about playing the songs fast in combat, so if you can play a crappy performance and still open doors then that is pretty easy to achieve.
Peacemaking is only useful if you have a teammate that can stay out of the range. In solos it’s pretty much 100% troll lol
bruh i was just thinking about how cool itd be if you made a updated bard video wtf lmao
wait how do u have so much gear available from the squire?
As you do quests you get more gear for him
I would say story teller is bis for doing 0 to hero on bard so u can 10 song efficiently bc without it ur not getting all 10 songs take it off when u can use ur songs without the knowledge buff from it
i agree, i didn’t think about this, thank you!
What skeleton skin are you using and does that provide any benefits to the class?
its the nightmare skel it adds 10 armor rating but -10 magic resist
26:42 important
Finally
Could you do some on group play and positioning?
When I was playing bard going against barb, I tried to get in a shriek of weakness then kite him and get surv bow hits off. But his pdr was just too high to chip. Do you just have to stay away from barbs or is there something you can do about them
you have to hit him 20 times with arrows LOL
Damn! Alright thanks Y4mi, W tutorial
bro your good
25:16 start gameplay KEKW
how did you have so much base gear from the squire available
Quests
How do you fix that Abnormal error, my friend keeps getting it and we cant fix it so he cant play with us =/
In before they remove survival bows from bards.
So when you’re doing your buffs if an enemy is in the circle do they also get the buff? Also say your teamate is in the circle of weakness do they get the de buff?
buffs only apply to ur teammates, debuffs only apply to monsters and enemies
@@Y4mi2599 also note that only a few buffs apply to your team also, and most only yourself
is that the song from goblin :O
almost dying to the training dummy had me cryin
can you do a support bard build
woah
Chaotic discord is really funny to use on no gear timmy lobbies, just pull a ton of mobs and then make them attack little timmy it is very funny
how one gets more stuff in base gear in squire, i have way less items to choose from
why stack true phys not weapon dmg? u have 20+ str
Wish I could play bard, but with all the buffs up, my frame rate drops dramatically.
i was first like XD
wtf does a bard use for light?? so much shit on the hotbar, good lord. i can't see anything ;(
u gotta get used to the darkness brotha
@@Y4mi2599 it's pitch black, how do you even aim for people who duck and stuff? i guess it's the literal name of the game lol
Please be more concise. Other than that, love your videos. Goated player 🙏
I don’t understand I tried the good to great music perk but it just said playing crappy music whenever I copied you. Did they nerf it?
You can only skip one note, the rest you have to play perfectly. Unless its the really long song, you can skip 2 notes
YAMI JUST WACKED A F2P FIGHTER
DO A TUTO FOR RANGER PLZZZZZZZ
lagging out is just part of the game :D
please how do u kill a fast asf warlock its impossible
nice wall hack, find 5 from 10 on big map
Yo yami, just so you know… lyre is pronounced “liar” not “leer” 👍
30:10 LMAO
while i know bard is the best solo class, i cant bring myself to play it.
it just looks so stupid, juggling 3 instruments on the run as some sort of fighting style.
If you're gonna show us how to start out with bard, maybe picking gear that actually resembles what a starter character would have is better?
wtf whats the probability that u have excacly THE SAME song layout like me
first?
Your many many sins have been absolved
you play without a torch?
I am first ever on this video
I’m pretty sure you killed me
Ngl in this video you have the same speaking cadence as a 14 yo doing a presentation in front of class
yeah i say “um” a lot when i’m nervous idk why
Ngl ur very bad at explaining imo, gl for next videos
