the problem with bards is that most bards are piloted by very dumb players. I don't say this to flame, or troll, I mean it. I have grouped with many bards over the years. Most bards pick bard because they want to earn more platinum when they use the vendor and they know bard will have high CHA gear. I get it, but now I have to carry your ass in group? Yes bards have a lot of subpar utility. They're sort of like druid, but less efficient. The real problem with a bard is that 99% of bards have no idea how to play the class except sitting in camp playing Wonderwall on the lute and asking how the clerics like cantana. They don't like doing a lot of twisting because it's hard on the wrists, but really they don't know how. If you have a bard in the group, you have to type him instructions for every song you want played, immediately. I have an entire macro page for bard instructions because bards are played by literal retards IRL (sorry, but it's true!). If you like micro-managing and spamming instructions, you'll like having a bard in group. otherwise just don't invite them to your party.
