What is the point of a bard?

[webrunner5]

A well played Bard is a thing of beauty. But there are a lot of ugly Bards on here. I can't play one well myself either. It is a damn hard job for hours at a time. Most just do one song at a time and go AFK a lot. I can pass on that in a group, sorry.

I play bard, and I'm da best!

Raid role: Force multiplier on other group members?

Quick corrections here:

-Overhaste wasn't introduced until Luclin (vah shir song line).

-The Ervaj line (velious) is stackable haste but stays under the cap,
so any player with a 41% haste item and 60% haste buff will find it useless.

-Fading Memories is a PoP ability.

For the OP's question:

What is the point of a bard?

To turn the mundane into legendary!

And they continue to think their bard or ranger is useless

Kunark lasting as long as it has and the lockdown of Trak really hurts bards (other classes as well).

Great statement from one of the best but little known bards on P99.

Bards can awesome if played well. Can save an entire group on some dragon AEs. Can still CC pretty well. Some of the best non-stop groups I have had in seb have been with bards.

Bard played right can rock your world. seb crawls, hs, chardok. anywhere you want to go. As a puller, I'd have to say they do the best. Monks split and all, but ive seen bards pull in seb single mobs constantly so literally a constant flow of exp. I heart a good bard
