If you played a bard during the timeline yes you could it was eventually patched out.

Yeah , the sad part is the bards DPS is terrible , they are a pure utility class. This ability to use these utilities makes them strong at doing a number of things other than melee. But because this game is a such a grind fest people will take a chanter/monk/rogue over a bard for the fact of exp penalties.This goes for other hybrids as well.

Post-Velious patch changes this yes.... but this change to run speed effects not only bards but every class, hurting those even more without run speed spells or effects..

that's quite sad, the mentality back in this era on live was that a good bard increased the groups efficiency/dps beyond that of having another dps instead, heck groups often had an enc (w/out the OP charmed pets) and a bard for some amazing groupage.

I went LFG in /ooc today and got laughed at... true story.

I pretty much solo when I can't find a group, which is often. Haynar said this may be unintentional, so they are looking at it though:

Yep something definitely wrong with movement. Today after patch I was quadding bloodgills in LOIO and they weren't always running at their normal speed. Also very frequently after rounding them up, I run off ahead and start to quad-snare, I turn around and 1 goblin is directly on top of me and the other 3 are about where they should be. This happened many times.

For every hour this is broken I will kill one gnome, and film myself making sweet love to an ogre, and send it to GM's

ate it this morning to a tiger in OT that ran faster than selos without a drum, even tried to strafe away from it with selos, no go. I couldn't even land my snare.

After spending 9 hours today LFG as a bard, with 0 groups, fingers crossed it gets fixed soon.

This is the reality bards will face.

Bards need to learn to play nice, call out pulls... tell others they can strip mobs if needed and not pull near or over groups.

If these rules were followed , this patch wouldn't have been an issue.

P.S. I play a bard as well , before you all get offended, just stating the painful truth.
