Dancer (2-2)
Supporting with a Bard or Dancer requires a different approach than other classes. Music-based buffs are mostly percentual values, as opposed to the absolute values of Priest buffs, and require careful strategy and positioning, but playing as an Archer should already provide some experience in this respect. Despite their supportive role, one should not forget that Dancers are also capable of dealing good quantities of damage, one of their main advantages over Huntresses is their immense SP pool which allows them to continually use Double Strafe instead of normal attacks, ensuring decent damage output.
To understand how to build a Bard or Dancer, knowledge of all their skills is needed. Dancer and Bard skills are, in comparison to other classes, very stat dependent. In general, there are 2 types of skills for both a Dancer and a Bard; skills which can be sung or danced without a partner of the opposite gender and those where the player needs another Bard or Dancer respectively.
As a Dancer, only whips, daggers and bows are available for weapons, whereas Bards can use instruments instead of whips.
When armed with a Whip: Bow skills (Double Strafe, Arrow Shower, Arrow Repel) cannot be used Performance Skills, as well as Amp and Encore are available Whip skills (Slinging Arrow, Arrow Vulcan) can be used Whip damage depends on the Dancer's dex, NOT str. Just like it does for bows Unbarring Octave, Dazzler, Pang Voice and Charming Wink are usable regardless of weapons.
