bard will likely have to just run around and be obnoxious

manage to get a warrior sub-40% and he'll mightystrike and kill you with boulders in 5 seconds

good shadowknight will rape a bard

good paladin will never die

etc.

It is not possible to kill a bard that knows what he is doing. The single strongest component of a bard is that a good bard will always be in control of the fight and in that way, dictate the pace and location of the fight. Bards are "annoying" because they are unbeatable unless you outplay them, which is particularly difficult if you limit yourself to in-game mechanics and refuse to resort to /petition.

hmm how come at 25:46 this bard gets this warrior to 10% after quiting and bard wins the tourment? how come warrior didnt mightystrike and kill him with boulders in 5 seconds?

because heartbrand is not good at everquest and should never be used as a point of reference for how to play the game

Some truths are more unfortunate than others.

don't get me wrong, bard is one of the strongest pvp classes

but a bard probably won't kill any of the classes/scenarios that i mentioned at max level unless the player is bad or caught in an atypical situation that would get them killed against pretty much every other class

Yeah, this is 100% true as far as my opinions are concerned. Bard is not a burst damage class, that is not where its strengths are derived from. The core strength of a bard is the ability to control any fight. If the bard is controlling the fight, then it is only a matter of time until the opponent leaves or dies. You can wear your opponents down both mentally and physically, until they start making mistakes and die. Or they get so worn down that they /petition until you get banned. Also a viable player vs player strategy.
