I recall seeing an article a decade ago where Verant stated to the public, the two biggest mistakes they ever made in EQ were:
1) Complete Heal
2) Bards.

I actually recall that article. It was made right around the time that FoH (Or I think it was them) kicked out that math spreadsheet showing how Shaman were the best healer in the game due to broken Slow mechanics. It caught a lot of attention and Verant stepped up and said something like "Slow mechanics we can adjust as needed, if we feel something is broken. Things that are far more difficult to resolve are the directions we took with Complete Heal as a spell, and Bards as a class."
I'm paraphrasing but I swear that's fairly close to what was included in the official forum reply to the Shaman math thing.
I played a Bard to max level in Velious (no epic, too lazy) by either solely grouping or abusing broken Fear pathing in certain zones while solo. I'd never do it again because song twisting sucks eggs.
