High latency and starting a Bard
 

I've played EQ since Kunark for about 2-3 years. Never made it above 50 though, my main was a bard and I recall soloing, but instead of aoe swarming, I was charm kiting.

Of all the classes I've played the bard stuck out the most, so I'd like to continue where I left off.

However I'm a bit concerned with my latency, I'm on the other side of the world (servers are US east coast I think) and my ping is always around 280-300. I doubt I'll be able to twist 4 songs or swarm kite. Any bards out there who can advice on this?

My other choice would probably be a necromancer or an enchanter.
