Bard with a Trinity Force is AWESOME!
on
has to be the most fun, and only offensive item he should ever buy. Sure, it costs a lot, but it's such a well-rounded item and none of the stats are wasted on him. I will try to get it as a 5th or 6th item, rarely 4th when i'm fed and wanna go carry mode. And yes i'm talking about support Bard.
I've struggled for a while as i thought that Bard's damage is abysmal, and that it's hard to contribute to teamfights and to stop people from pushing your lane. I tried different combinations of AP, Wit's end, even statikk shiv, but the answer was the Holy Trinity (Force).
just solves ALL your problem. CDR, mana, movement speed. Attack speed works great on Bard as he attacks a lot, while also giving him some AD and the passive can be procced a lot.
As soon as i get it, i can solo almost anyone. I can trade massive bursts of damage using hit'n'run tactics, kite, they don't get to hit me, and they certainly don't get to flee.
My usual build will often look like this:

You hit max CDR while being tanky, very mobile, dealing Tons of Damage and able to apply a lot of map pressure.
Any
lovers should defintely try this and tell me what you think.
