Bards are an under appreciated class. They can make all the melees swing faster/harder, casters save on mana from not having to heal as much. If you spend enough time in a group, you can directly see the number of pulls and kills increase gradually as the pullers/tanks/DPS realize they are now a bit more...better?
Solo, they're tons of fun. Can fear kite. Charm kite. DoT kite. Travel is a breeze...nobody is faster.
Add in a little more utility with corpse location/selos/levi/invis...and lots of folks just want to be around you

And last but not least...they can be some pretty interesting pranksters too...(Melanie's Mellifluous Motion anyone?).
Yes, you need to be a bit more engaged with what you are doing...but that's part of the fun...I get bored sitting waiting for mana...
