Bards have many skills and abilities to offer a group.. they can mez, they can pull, they can tank, they can offer stackable mana regen.. the list goes on.. but no.. people just use a dot with a horn instrument to level quickly.. this wasn't what devs made bards for.. to solo a whole zone. Remove bard pbaoe dot songs and replace with DD songs. Problem with overpowerdness solved.

How would you stop it, if you could?

Pre-xp penalty removal... Would you invite an epic monk with 300k in gear to your low 50s group or would you invite a bard?

The first time you see a Chardok AoE you are going to sh!t your pants if you think Bard swarm kiting is ridiculous. Its honestly border line exploiting. We are beyond the point of no return my brother.

Bard AoE capped at a certain number of mobs?

WTB Fading Memories. But yeah, raid wise just buff bots. Lots of fun in groups though, although you always feel like your working way harder than the rest of your group lol.

I feel like such a fool for putting 5 points into intelligence for more fading memories.

I was all prepared to go straight for some Flowing Thought items on Luclin... alass.. no fading memories and a wasted 5 points to useless intelligence

Not classic.

PBAE songs were made to only do damage if targets were stationary on live during LoY.

But if you want to have that change we need Luclin and PoP first ($$$$$$). WTB PoP

Doesn't sound classic, any classic solutions? I can't think of any.

What about putting everyone on a minimum ping of 150 or something? No idea if that's achievable.

I'd be willing to make that compromise :-) <3 luclin and Pop

Tethering mobs to spawn points messes this up pretty good and was orginally introduced later on. But then again, those classes who live off their feign death would feel very cheated I'm sure.

I think the best and easiest fix, is to ignore us completely and pretend nothing is the matter. Accept the situation as it is, but silently disapprove (as you will)
My classic experience is totally bard kiting, we're very lovable folk. Don't make me tie myself to a tree to protest
