Bard

Diablo 1 Walkthrough  -> Bard

Bards are natural-born wanderers. From childhood, they were drawn to adventure and distant lands. Bards are curious about everything, and they are the most versatile fighters. Long journeys, mostly alone, have shaped them into strength, agility, resilience, and, in extreme cases, the ability to use magic. 

Of course, since they've spent time studying so many different fields, they're average in everything. They can't match warriors in strength, or archers in agility, and they're nowhere near the magical knowledge of mages. But Bards are versatile fighters. They can wield a sword in each hand, increasing their combat prowess.
