Let me dig up this old post ......
IMHO, Songs > +1 Instruments > Element+ gears > skills+ gears > CHR+ gears > AF
Similar to a mage, a bard is expected to have all songs at his/her level.
+1 Instruments should be "must-buy" items. It helps the buffer songs to stick longer and lower the resist rate of debuff songs. Personally, only the instrument for Finale +1 is luxary, we should get most of the rest.
Elemental Staves helps a lot more than monster signa! It significantly lower the resist rate of debuff songs. Earth Staff for Elegy and Light Staff for the rest of songs. Dark Staff for MP healing. Rest of Elemental Staves are just nice to have. And even 60 slots is not enough if you want to carry all of them...
I found that skills affects the potency of the songs. My experiment: Once I got Minuet IV at 63, I sang it and only +51 attack. After a while until my singing and wind skills capped, it turned out to be +53 attack!
CHR do help to lower the resistence of debuff songs but not much of my parties expected me to do heavily debuff works except Finale. Melees, DD, Mages would care much more on my buff songs but CHR won't let the songs stick longer!
Bard's AF is a joke! Legs are worth to get it. Hands is also "ok". Others are simply a joke!! A bard would not have much loss even without them...
Frankly speaking, Bard got C grade in singing, wind or string. Compared to RDM, they have A grade in enfeeble magic. At the same level and skills capped, {Dispel} do have lesser resistence than {Finale}...
