If you read that post in the link i put up there, it explains in detail what other souls go great with Bard. But the short and sweet version would be something like this for a pure PvE support build >> http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=0M...dqiqskqz.Vhb.V

The points in Nightblade are things that buff your cadence damage. More cadence damage=more healing. the 3rd soul can be a number of things, ranger is popular for the pet. Ranger pets only level up to 30, so after 30 it might be better to spec into one of the other trees. I would probably have at least one of my bards have saboteur for the baseline ability Adhesive Bomb ( AE 70% snare ) and 15% dex helps our dps as well. All Bard abilities are dex/attack power based.

There are a number of other souls that would work. Also, for questing, you could pick a more mixed spec for more dps and less healing. Read that post in my first post. lots of great info and discussion there.
