All this debate over whether bards can or cannot tank is really moot in the context of a newbie guide.
I mean, newbs should not be playing bards, anyway. | ||

There are some other debatable parts of the guide: "I want to be able to get groups and level quickly Enchanter > Cleric > Warrior/Shadowknight/Paladin > Rogue > Monk > Shaman > Bard" I've had no problems finding groups as a shaman, and we're always happy to have a bard along. Most bards are out soloing OT or DL, so finding one to group with is always nice. The chance you'll be sitting around in a dungeon waiting for a group is more about how necessary you are AND how many of your class are competing for group spots. Rogues are relatively easy to twink and require groups pretty early, so I'd argue it's easier to get into a group as a shaman or bard than as a rogue. Enchanters are extremely useful, but there are quite a few of them as well. Do magicians and necros really have such a hard time finding groups? I never mind having them along. | |||

I'd say it's a pretty good guide for newbies. What I have issue with is the glowing recommendation of Iksars as tanks with only a mention in passing to the fact that they can't wear plate until velious comes out. For a noob i think this is a pretty big deal as A) who knows when velious will actually come out and B) if velious does come out, it may be a while until you can actually get that thurg/SS/Kael quested plate armor on your iksar, and until then they'll have to wear ranger armor.
Also, does frontal stun immunity not work vs. level 52+ mobs? I do not know from experience so I can't say. I would think Ogre warrior is still the ideal tank in velious, as is it really that easy to max stamina as a non ogre/troll tank? | ||
