Bard Gear

[~Furian_of_Khyber]

I've got a 2nd account chest blesser, spellsinger bard. He's heal spec'd, and i'm maximizing perform for fascinate & the upcoming sonic spell power boost. I've got most of my target gear items, but i want to check with some of you loot experts to make sure i didn't miss anything before i start slotting and making final decisions for flexible areas. Here are the relevant things i've worked in:

Charisma +8, Enchantment (Ring of Deceit)
Charisma +3, Insightful (Spidersilk Robes)
Charisma +1, Exceptional (Augment)
(All other stats +7/8, +2 insightful, +1 exceptional where needed)

Perform +20, Competence (Ring of Deceit)
Perform +5, Enchantment (Magewright's Cloak)
Perform +4, Guild (Large Guild Slot)
Charisma Skills +6, Exceptional (Green Steel #1)
Good Luck +2, Luck (Augment)

Anthem (Epic Blasting Chime)

Devotion (Gauntlets of Immortality)
Healing Lore (Gauntlets of Immortality)
Resonance (Epic Blasting Chime)
Sonic Lore (Epic Blasting Chime)
Wizardry (Spidersilk Robes)
Concentration (Spidersilk Robes)
Evocation, Greater Spell Focus (Augment)
Enchantment, Greater Spell Focus (Augment)

False Life (Augment)
Toughness (Spidersilk Robes)
Health +20, Guild (Large Guild Slot)
Health +45, Exceptional (Greensteel #2)

Heavy Fortification (Augment)
Resistance +6 (Spidersilk Robes)
Deathblock (Augment)


Is there anything not listed that you highly recommend, or any item you think is a must-have? I know I left out the spell singer ToD set. I could fit it in if i had to, but i don't think it's worth the effort to fish out the ring. Anything else?

Thanks for your advice,
-Scott

Scott,

This sounds awesome and very helpful for someone getting back into DDO after an extended absence. My Spellsinger was also a secondary healer, and I was looking to see how I can keep her competent.

What does your gear situation look like? (cloaks, rings, belts, etc. ) I'd like to get a better idea of what I'll be farming and where I can substitute until then.
