Bard Tanking?
Under what circumstances can (and should) bards adequately tank late game?
I’m learning more about my class as I become a geriatric bard (almost level 59). I’ve group EXPed the entire time. I’m not a swarmer. I did a lot of tanking up to 40 but now that I’m much later in the lifecycle I never do it anymore, unless I’m soloing. Even then I try to avoid it since I’m a wimp.
I’ve read that sometimes bards can out-tank rangers, and I’ve some some respectable ranger tanking in my day.
So near 60, when can and should a bard adequately tank? What group comps make it appealing? What activities, camps, etc? Can you provide some ideas for itemization for doing so?
