Bard Builds

[SwampRaider]

Due to the Influx of assassins, I decided to roll a Bard on my Alt Character

I want to see your opinions on what gear I should Use

Current Armor: Bandit headband+ bandit breastplate + Black Leather Gloves

Weapon Choices:
Blacksmiths Revenge
Ritualists Dagger

Off hand Choices:
Spiritual Flute
kitchen Knife


So: do I stick with the Kitchen+ ritualists for farming?
Do I use the Combo of Blacksmiths revenge+ spiritual flute for Dungeons?


Also, If I were to spend money to respec, would that be a good idea? or are assasins and bards too similar?

Discuss.
