Bard
,no edit summary
{{Template:Class navbox}}Bards are a hidden character added in the [[Hellfire]] expansion. They use the rogue's graphics, but are designed to be played very differently. Somewhat like the Monk, the Bard is very balanced on her stats, and can use a variety of weapons. Her main ability is that she can dual wield weapons, and is capable of hitting three targets at once while dual wielding. This ability to dual wield opens up a variety of interesting play options, especially since shields offer very little stat bonus in Diablo or Hellfire.
Bards are only playable a hidden character added in the [[Hellfire]] expansion, only playable once they've been enabled by the [[Command.txt]] file. As an unfinished character, the Bard uses the rogue's graphics, though the two classes play considerably differently.

==Inherent Skill==
[[Image:D1-icon-identify.gif|frame]]
The Bard can use the Identify skill inherently, with no mana cost. She thus saves herself ever having to carry Scrolls of Identity, or pay [[Deckard Cain ]] 100 gold, . This is considered the most useful standard skills out of the original and need not talk to him except to receive quest prompts required to advance through the gameHellfire character classes.
==Stats and Attributes==
A Bard can play in full mage mode very successfully, while still retaining the ability to deal considerable melee damage without any equipment changes.
===Bow Strategy===
Not a weapon that Bards find very useful. Bards and Rogues have the same attack rate with every weapon save bows, and on this one Bards are much slower and do far less damage.
