Good choice! The community expectation for bards is that they swarm kite. That works great when you have limited time during play sessions. However, do not bypass the adventures of leveling in XP groups. Bards IMO are one of the most amazing group classes in EQ, and the game play is far more rewarding than running in circles.

Thanks Issar, I am looking forward to learning how to play a Bard. My very first toon in EQ back in 1999 was a Wood Elf Druid named Darcoon on Rallos Zek. I moved on to a Halfling Rogue on Bertox for the rest of my time on Everquest. I am "kinda" lost on this toon but I enjoy ever last learning experience, just like I did back in the classic EQ days.

I made a bard recently, but wound up recycling the name, rerolled it to a DEF-SHD. I agree on grouping, but when you log in and there are 30 in the zone (e.g Kelethin) and 12-15 of them are bards... and another bard spawns, and another bard spawns, another bard spawns at POD. Hey, it's going to spawn you too, another bard spawns at POD.

But if you are rolling it to get groups, you probably still can, as most I think do it just because of the strafing bug so they can solo fast and easy. Of course when you're not a bard and trying to do your thing, it gets really frustrating when the bards have taken everything in the zone, or area. Then you gotta chase them around peeling off mobs or just log.
