If you want an argument that you have a real shot of winning, get into a fight with a monk about who's the better pulling class. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Unfortunately even if this is the case you may end up stuck in camp while the monk pulls because the cleric yells at you if the mana cables start to lose slack.

if the bard is hasting the group, using MR/FR/PR-songs vs caster mobs, slowing and doting the mobs during the fight, clerics wont realy need him as mana battery [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] (if the group has enough dps, that is)

Oh no no no...that only means the pulling isn't good enough...cleric still has mana, expand the borders!

Well, there is that. But you won't need to worry about it till level 32. I seem to remember the range of the group regen songs being very small until the AoE HP/Mana regen songs came out. You could take a few steps out from the group to where the mob was being tanked and the cleric would complain because he wasn't getting mana song any more.

I played a bard for 8 years.

Go STA and DEX imo....for reasons stated above.

Monk and bard in grp monk will always end up pulling casue bard + mana for grp heals slows and dps will flow the exp faster that way.

Was just in a sol b grp where monk was new to the zone, bard lull split the camps then monk took over.
