Lack of Bard Essay

Hey folks,

Seeing as how the written essays for each class were a huge help in beginning to understand a class for a new player like myself, I'm a bit bummed that there isn't one written for bards. After looking through the bard skill set I'm confused as how they're used effectively. I rarely see a Bard around and haven't had the pleasure in being able to group with any. Could someone please give me a general rundown on the playstyle of a Bard? Thanks in advance.

While I could give advice and a theoretical rundown of abilities, I haven't played a bard at 50 and PKed.

I'll wait for the battlebard to comment. Helmsley! We're waiting for you buddy.

Yeah wait for HBWillie to have a word in this thread.

Played the damn scariest bard I've ever seen IG.

Will do although, is HBWillie still around? I thought I ran across a thread where he was saying his goodbyes.

I played a caballed rank 50 bard quite recently, and I learned a fair bit about the class from him.

If you're interested in the class, I could write a mini-essay and send it to you in a private message if you'd like. Though I'm not the be all and end all of bard knowledge.

Yeah, that'd be great. Thanks Nekky!

he doesn't just roll power combo's

He was Jarl, a dwarf Watcher, wasn't around for all that long though. I got very busy with Uni exams right in the middle of his life.

Jarl was quite strong indeed. I remember him beating my warmaster halfling BLM

I remember reading an old bard mini-essay a long while back. It was called "how to make friends with everyone" or something like that. It was very funny.

If you do write that Nekky, maybe you could post it in this thread so that other people could use it also!

I will.

Lol im not even going to dignify that with a response pretty big call though.

...Seriously, Aulian. We are sick of your overpowered Vampire Heralds!

I remember when you sent that note to all. Disgusting when people are playing this game only to ruin the fun for everyone else.

Not to mention the 1903132313 power house druids I've played

Dont get me wrong, my druids ROCK but its not exactly top of the food chain for power is it?

That just depends. A druid can be a nasty nasty person to fight.

But agreed, not really a power combo because other classes can be nastier with more ease.

Any updates?

Sorry for the delay, I've been a bit busy with work and Uni the last few days. I'm trying to get on top of it.
