While the game is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/dark-and-darker\/steam\">no longer available on Steam<\/a>, it has developed something of a cult following for its challenging PvPvE combat and addictive gameplay loop. Core to the gameplay system of Dark and Darker is its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/dark-and-darker\/to-add-warlock-class\">class system<\/a>. There are currently 8 classes to choose from, and this choice really shapes how you play. It impacts your character stats, what weapons you can equip, and your secondary abilities. This guide will focus on the Bard, providing you with advice on how to craft the<strong> best Bard build<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1h853nf482o\"><strong>Bard Class Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Bard is a magic-user class with a difference: its musical-based spells are done through a rhythm mini-game. While this adds an extra level of complexity to gameplay, their varied repertoire allows them to offer lots to a party from damage dealing, healing, buffing, and rebuffing. This class boasts the highest Strength and Agility stat of all the magic users but the lowest Will stat, resulting in a slightly lessened magic resistance and spell power\/duration. The way to get the most out of this class is to get acclimated to performing songs with perfect accuracy, as the effectiveness of the Bard&#8217;s spells is calculated in relation to a Poor\/Good\/Perfect result.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1h853nf482p\"><strong>All Bard Perks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Perks passively buff your character. You can change the perks in your loadout in the &lsquo;class&rsquo; tab. At Level 0, you only have access to one perk slot but when you hit Level 5, 15, and 20 you unlock extra slots.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">\n<div align=\"left\">\n<table style=\"table-layout: fixed;
