I main Bard and it was my first character too. Just know that you are going to level up somewhat slowly due to Bard having the lowest DPS and having the least amount of HP.

During the early levels of the game, it is going to be a bad experience. Not going to sugar coat this, having Bard as your first character may negatively change your perspective of the game. Unless you are 100% sure playing a support is what you want, you have my fair warning.

When doing your first story dungeon and onward, most people don't know what Bards can do and that is when the first set of problems starts.
1. Early levels you are going to have a hard time building up your class bar/meter to use for either your Big Heal or Attack Buff. If you are lucky, you can use them at least once or twice per dungeon.

2. People may not know what your Healing circle looks like and will run away from it, wasting the heal you spent so long to build up to.

3. Some people are under the impression that Bards works like other MMO healer class and expect you to have a healing spell, buffs, and shields in your skill bar already. Aside from the Heal and Attack Buff from building up your class bar/meter, you have no other main support skill at that moment.

4. Expect this to last till you reach Tier 3 content. Tier 1 and 2 is the most painful part of leveling a character, let alone a support as your first/main.

Later on you'll unlock something called Tower. It is a solo dungeon that grants you a lot of useful rewards. Having to do them solo as a Support character is rough. Unless you are very skilled or out level that Tower map, it is an absolute torture to do. I'm not making a mountain out of a mole hill about this, some Bards in Tier 2 armor can't finish the last part of Tier 1 Tower even with being over geared for it.

Bard is a fun class to play and if you stick it out, it does get better and after all the hardship you endured, it will pay off.

Here is a good guide to help get you started.

I think creating and playing a support as your first character is probably the best choice you can do.

Supports are extremely sought after in late game since there are so few in the game. Supports are a lot easier to play than dps, which gives you the opportunity on learning the fights faster. Supports need less engravings, less cards, less tripods, less skill gems and lower quality weapons to perform well making them a lot cheaper on the long run than dps. And honestly they are generally really fun to play and will give you a lot of mvps all around.

The healing circle's not terribly wasted, unless someone runs in with full hp. The duration's long as ♥♥♥♥ and ticks based off how many people are in it, more people in the circle, the less heal each person gets. Sometimes you just want to cast the circle to only cover people that are low.

But yea, bard story progression is painfully slow, takes anywhere from 2-4+ times everyone else's. As a first class I wouldn't suggest it, but if you really want to play support go for it. Bard's more shields/buffs than heals, if you really want heals play a paladin.

Are you basing it on legendary engravings?

Most Bards min engraving requirement is Expert - Desperate 2 - 3 easy to get at T1 460, T2 960 and 1370 with a 6/6 stone and a couple of Abyss accessories.

Yes if you want to go 4-3 since it more likely require legendary engravings.

Compare that to a dps 3-3 and right now some groups are really picky 4-3 good engravings.

The cheapest one is Gunlancer Combat Readiness - Barricade.

As others have said, supports are in high demand for end game raids. The one thing you should know is, while bard is normally the closest to a traditional healing class, if you want to do hell mode later on, you won't be healing at all, because you'll need to be using the damage buff every time. Paladin doesn't have that problem.

Desperate Salvation Engraving is your main priority to get to lvl3. Expert is a waste in early levels till you unlock Winds of Magic shield Tripod then it is passable up to Tier 3.

Gearing up cost so much once you are past 1370. 3/3/3 for Bard is Desperate Salvation, Awakening, and Heavy Armor. You can have Expert if you can fit it in.

Argos will do so much damage to you as a freshly Raid ready Bard that you'll need Heavy Armor to survive. Expert lvl3 at base(not taking in to account of the low HP extra%) is about 10% more Heal/Shield. Not worth the trade off of either Awakening or Heavy Armor. You have more consistency with those two over Expert.

play anything just not gunlancer, that class is cancer - burden teams to lose and makes the fight x100 harder by dragging it out and selfish just wants to stay alive himself but never does any dps on his part so the other dps have to carry him.

Lets me tell you as someone who started out as a bard. DO NOT do it :)
Not because its not possible its just not good. As long as you dont know the game good enough you will slow down your progress extremly. (dps wise and knowledge wise)
The good thing was a friend recommended me to use one of the powerpasses to play a dps class which i did. Now 600h+ in iam back on my bard. You dont need that many ofcourse.

What i would recommend is to pick a melee class(if you are ok with that; range is possible too but melee is just better) play it until you hit item level 1340 and then park this char and start your bard.

Why melee? Because you are forced to learn about positioning and learn boss mechanics.
So you will understand how they think and what you can do to support best as bard.

Why 1340? Because it is a good sweetspot for an alt character which you can use to farm gold and push your other chars.

If you are playing Paladin or Bard as your main character please watch a youtube video or guide on the class and also to make your own life 1000000% easier, make 2 presets (Alt+E)

1 will be your team support preset where you do all the team support stuff like shields and heals and buffs

2 will be your solo dps preset so you can clear content and chaos dungeons and the like without feeling like a wet noodle

This will require 2 sets of engravings / accessories (main gear will remain the same) but will make your life so so so so so so much easier you will definitely thank me

My Paladin was able to complete the tier 1 tower at ilvl/tier level which is extremely difficult to do for most classes due to dps setup

If you don't have a buddy to play with, don't play Bard

Lets just clear something up, we love Bards in boss raids... just not chaos type raids, we run out of the circles on purpose.
