Ran with a Sorc last night that was running his mouth about classes, then mentioned that Bards are worthless, they cant cast arcane spells very well, cant fight very well, and cant heal like clerics very well. I wanted to backhand him.
First of all, a Bard is a difficult class to build. Many different types of Bards out there. Mine happens to be a Human Battle Bard with spashed fighter at 12 when I get there for ITWF.
I just didnt know where to start educating this idiot about his ignorance. With all the buffs, displacement, etc Bards can whoop some serious arse. I mentioned the DPS output of a Warchanter battle bard can rival fighters and he said "no way can a bard outpace a fighter. When the quest was over and my 65 to 44 kills showed up, he claimed kill stealing. LOL..... Not to mention I didnt get hit that much cause I was displaced, he on the other hand was being wand whipped by a cleric that was watching his toons future cash supply dwindling with each whip of the wand.
I thought bards were useless too when at headstart, didnt really know how good they could be until a guildie built aruguably the best figthting bard I have ever seen.
Bards rock! Face it.
