    My bard is now at the point where I can raid with the bard and not die. Currently using COV raid dagger with TOV ice proc augment, and COV raid axe with TOV remote healing augment. Next week I will be able to buy my first nugget/ore with currency and want to use the first two on weapons.

    However, I have looked at quite a few magelo profiles and there is not a consensus choice. Some use 19 delay daggers, some make the Vamlire Draw 1h, I have seen some only use one raid TS weapon. Whereas on magician there is a singular universal choice, there is not with bard.

    I am curious not only what weapons you settled on for your bard, but also reasoning and logic behind. I am only making two TS raid weapons. Keep in mind the bard is my box, and while I am raiding right now it is only because the mage is fully done.

    As always, thanks for the advice bard community!

    Axe & Hooked Knife, for the 4800 procs

    For a while I went with 2 slashers (bards look best with slashers) but recently after digging through other class abilities, 2 piercers might be the most optimal thing to go with (Rogue Pinpoint Defects line adds 3% to piercing damage).

    Ideally the best setup would be to swap weapons depending on what burns are going on (piercers for Flurry of Notes/Pinpoint, Blunts for Thousand Blades & Shaman epic, slashers for a good balance in between) but there's not enough good augs to bando swap like that, unfortunately.

    I like Vampiric Draw because it never gets resisted. For the most part I would say it is personal preference. Go with a damaging proc and stay away from Stun and Heal Tar/tar.

    Was thinking of going with the highest dex this expac (TOL) but one of those is a mace.
